When used in freezing or below freezing temperatures, the following precautions need to
be taken:
Proper care should be taken with the fresh water and drainage systems to avoid
freeze-ups.
Propane gas (if so equipped) and sufficient power is needed for protection from
possible freeze-ups on the propane gas regulator. Keep in mind that more frequent
furnace operation will substantially increase battery draw and propane gas use.
During cool weather usage, ventilation or addition of a dehumidifier may be required
to reduce condensation.
Check outside extrusions on compartment doors, locks, slide outs, windows, vents,
etc., for frozen moisture before operating to avoid damage to parts.

ONDENSATION
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary with
climate conditions, particularly the relative humidity. Condensation occurs because there
is water vapor present in the air, which each of us adds to by breathing, bathing or cooking.
The water vapor usually collects on the coolest surfaces. When the temperature reaches
the “dew point” the water vapor in the air condenses and changes to a liquid form.
Proper ventilation and, if needed, the use of a dehumidifier (customer supplied) will assist
in controlling the condensation. Many RV and marine dealers carry small dehumidifiers
sized for recreation vehicle use. Other suggestions are:
Crack open windows and roof vents to allow warm moist air to escape.
When taking a shower open the bath roof vent (if so equipped) approximately ½”
allowing the moisture to escape.
Use the range hood fan (if so equipped) when cooking or washing dishes.
Avoid hanging wet towels (or clothes) inside the recreation vehicle to dry.
If condensation is found in cabinets or closets, open those doors slightly to equalize
the temperature and provide ventilation.
Condensation - Tent Models
Only
When camping leave a small
opening using each bunk zipper
to permit air flow and allow the
tent to “breathe”. This will help
minimize
moisture
gathering
above the bunk area on the vinyl
.

WARNING
Condensation may cause dampness, mildew, mold, staining and, if allowed to
continue, it may result in damage to the recreation vehicle (damage caused by
condensation is not warrantable). It can also lead to mold or mildew issues, which
could be a health hazard.
