cONDENSATION
The amount of condensation will vary with
climate conditions, particularly in relative
humidity. Condensation occurs from water
vapor present in the air. Water vapor collects
wherever there is available air space. When the
temperature reaches the dew point, the water
vapor in the air condenses and changes to
liquid form.
Controlling Moisture Condensation:
Reduce or eliminate interior moisture
condensation during cold weather by using the
following steps.
Partially open the roof vents and
windows so that outside air can
circulate into the interior. Increase the
ventilation when large numbers of
people are in the recreational vehicle.
Even in raining or snowing conditions
the air outside will be far drier than the
interior air.
Install a dehumidifier. Continuous
use of a dehumidifier is effective in
removing excess moisture from the
interior air. Using a dehumidifier is
not a cure-all, however, it will reduce
the amount of outside air needed for
ventilation.
Run the range vent fan when cooking
and the bath vent fan (or open the bath
vent) when bathing to reduce water
vapor. Avoid excessive boiling or use
of hot water as it produces steam.



Do not heat the recreational vehicle
interior with the range or oven. Heating
with the range or oven increases the
risk of toxic fumes and allows oxygen
depletion. Also, open flames add
moisture to the interior air increasing
condensation.
In very cold weather, leave the cabinet
and closet doors partially open. The
air flow will warm and ventilate the
interior of the storage compartments
and the exterior wall surface, reducing
or eliminating condensation and
preventing the possibility of ice
formations.
WINDOWS
Water Spots: Any glass will develop water
spots if not properly cleaned. A spotting effect
is magnified when the glass has a reflective
finish. Use a squeegee immediately after
washing to reduce water spotting. To remove
stubborn water stains from reflective glass
we recommend Cerium Oxide Polishing
Compound, made by
C.R. Lawrence
, available
at most glass shops.
WINDOW TREATMENTS
Mini-Blinds
Dusting:
Regular dusting will maintain the appearance
of the mini-blinds. Keep aluminum blinds
looking their best by periodically wiping with
a soft cloth or a dusting mitt. By tilting the
slats down, not quite closed, most of the top
surface of each slat can be cleaned. Blinds may
be cleaned while hanging in place using this
method.


Vacuuming:
For deeper cleaning, vacuum gently with the
soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
Compressed Air or Hair Dryer (non-heat
setting):
Blow dust off each slat. Dust will be
air-borne using this method so ventilate the
recreational vehicle.
Spot-Cleaning:
Spot-clean shades and blinds using a soft
cloth or a moistened sponge with lukewarm
water. Add mild detergent, if needed.
Blot gently to avoid creasing. In a dusty
environment, the blinds may need to be
cleaned regularly using a sponge or dampened
soft cloth. Use warm (not hot) water and a
mild detergent. The mild detergent cannot
contain abrasives. Rinse the blinds using a
clean cloth and water to prevent water spots.
Place a towel directly under the blinds to
absorb water that might drip down.
Ultrasonic cleaning:
Professional ultrasonic cleaning may be
preferred.
Day/Night Shades
Leave Day/Night shades in the up position
when not in use to help the shades hold their
shape.
