Formaldehyde, Continued
California Air Resource Board (CARB) Notice
Formaldehyde is used widely in building materials such as
pressed wood products, particleboard, hardwood plywood
paneling, medium density fiberboard (MDF), and plywood
which are commonly used throughout the Recreational Vehicle
Industry. As mandated by the RV Industry, Grand Design RV
recreation vehicles contain composite wood products (hard-
wood plywood, particle board, and MDF) that comply with the
California Air Resource Board (CARB) formaldehyde emission
standards under California Code of Regulations § 93120.2(a)
Phase 2 (P2).
Effects of Prolonged Occupancy
•
If you plan to occupy your RV for an extended period,
be prepared to deal with condensation and the humid
conditions that may be encountered.
Your RV is designed primarily for recreational and extended stay
use. Modern RVs have a relatively small volume due to their
compact construction. The normal living activities of even a
few occupants in the RV, can lead to rapid moisture saturation of
the air inside and the appearance of visible moisture, especially
in cold weather.
Condensation
Condensation refers to the water droplets that appear on cold
surfaces when the water vapor in the air cools, and changes to
liquid water. In cold weather, it may be seen as frost or ice.
• Moisture can condense on the inside of an RV during
cold weather the same way that moisture collects on
the outside of a cold glass during humid weather.
Condensation may also collect out of sight within the walls or
ceiling, causing warped or stained panels. Appearance of these
conditions may indicate a serious condensation problem. To
minimize condensation inside your RV, moisture in the air must
be carried outside by ventilation, or removed with a dehumidifier
(customer supplied).
