CLASS C MOTORHOME
9.3 PROLONGED OCCUPANCY
Motorhomes are generally designed for recrea-
tional and short-term occupancy. In case of
extended occupancy there are a few things to
keep in mind regarding humidity and
condensation. Excessive moisture inside the
motorhome can cause water stains and mildew on
the upholstery, the wall materials and the
woodwork. Moisture condensing on the windows
is a sure sign that the humidity inside your
motorhome is too high. To reduce moisture inside
your motorhome we suggest the following:
1.
Open windows and vents. This will allow fresh
air to flow through and reduce the moisture
content.
2.
Reduce moisture released inside the
motorhome. Run the bathroom fan when
using the bathroom and turn on the range
hood fan while cooking. This will remove
unnecessary moisture from your motorhome.
Do not hang wet towels and swim wear inside
the motorhome to dry.
