Condensation
Important
Since surface condensation within the motor home cannot be controlled by the
manufacturer, damage caused by condensation is not covered by the Tiffin
Motorhomes Limited Warranty.
Damage may occur to your vehicle if excessive condensation exists. Accumulation of condensation
on surfaces within your motor home occurs when warm, moist air contacts a cool surface. It is
most evident on the inside of windows, but this problem can be controlled by:
1. Slightly opening a window or roof vent to allow the moisture to escape from the motor
home.
2. A small dehumidifier is also very effective in removing moisture from the air.
Condensation levels are highest during times when a person is cooking or taking a shower in the
motor home, but these occasions are not the only times condensation is present. Walls and ceiling
panels may become wet when the moisture accumulates on these surfaces. Tiffin Motorhomes does
not recommend the use of any catalytic heaters because of resulting extensive condensation.

Motorhomes Limited Warranty. Use the maintenance record found in Chapter 15 to record all
performed maintenance as required.

Tiffin Motorhomes Limited Warranty. Items supplied by other manufacturers may require specific
