This will actually compound the problem. Simply put, you need to remove
some of the warm air, and allow some cool outside air to get inside the vehicle,
so the furnace will not recycle the humid interior air.

ABOUT MOLDS
What are molds?
Molds are microscopic organisms that naturally occur in virtually every environ-
ment, indoors and out. Outdoors, mold growth is important in the decomposi-
tion of plants. Indoors, mold growth is unfavorable. Left unchecked, molds
break down natural materials, such as wood products and fabrics. Knowing
the potential risks is important for any type of homeowner to protect their
investment.
What factors contribute to mold growth?
For mold growth to occur, temperatures, indoor or outdoors, must be between
40 degrees and 100 degrees Fahrenheit and also have a source of moisture,
such as humidity, standing water, damp materials, etc. Indoors, the most rapid
growth occurs with warm and humid conditions.
How can mold growth be inhibited?
By controlling relative humidity, the growth of mold and mildew can be inhibited.
In warm climates, use of the air conditioner will reduce the relative humidity.
Vents are located in the bathing and cooking areas and constant use is advised
during food preparation and bathing, even during colder weather. Additionally,
opening a window during these activities will assist in ventilation. In extremely
humid conditions, the use of a dehumidifier can be helpful. If using a dehumidi-
fier, please read and follow all manufacturer instructions and recommendations
to the use and cleaning of the dehumidifier.
Frequent use of your RV or cleaning regularly is an important preventive
measure. Further, any spills should be wiped up quickly and dried as soon
as possible. Avoid leaving damp items lying about. On safe surfaces, use
mold or mildew killing cleaning products. Check sealants regularly, and reseal
when necessary to avoid water leaks. Proper preventive maintenance to the
