EFFECTS OF LONG TERM OCCUPANCY
Condensation and How to Control It
Your need to understand how to properly manage and control the humid conditions and con-
densation that you may experience.
RVs are much smaller than a house, and are tightly built. This means that the interior air
will become saturated with moisture more quickly than a typical house. The routine activities
of a few people can put a lot of water into the air. In cold weather, this moisture may become
visible as condensation.
Condensation happens naturally. Just as moisture collects on the outside of a glass of cold
water during humid weather, moisture can condense on the inside surfaces of your RV dur-
ing cold weather when the humidity of the interior air is high.
Water vapor will condense on the inside of the windows and walls. In really cold weather,
frost or ice may appear. It may also condense out of sight within the walls or ceiling.
If enough water collects in the wall or ceiling materials, it may cause water stains on the
wall or ceiling surface. You might think that your walls or ceiling are leaking. You have a
problem with condensation if you see these signs. You need to do something to reduce the
moisture inside your RV.

finishes, fabrics, carpeting and drapes. Damage or deterioration due to long term
occupancy may not be considered normal, and may under the terms of the warranty
constitute misuse, abuse, or neglect, and any therefore reduce your warranty protection.
