TRAVELING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME

HUMIDITY AND
CONDENSATION
Moisture condensing on the inside of win-
dows is a visible indication that there is too much
humidity inside the coach. Excessive moisture
can cause water stains or mildew which can dam-
age interior items such as upholstery and cabi-
nets.
When you recognize the signs of excessive
moisture and condensation in your coach, you
should take immediate action to minimize their
affects.
You can help reduce excessive moisture in-
side the motor home by taking the following
steps:
Ventilate with outside air:
Partially open one or
more windows and a roof vent to circulate out-
side air through the coach. In cold weather, this
ventilation may increase use of the furnace, but
it will greatly reduce the condensation inside the
coach.
Minimize moisture released inside the coach:
Run the range hood fan while cooking, and open
a bath vent while bathing or showering to carry
water vapor out of the coach. Avoid making
steam from boiling water excessively or letting
hot water run. Avoid bringing extra moisture
into the coach by way of soaked clothing or
snow on shoes. Do not hang-dry wet overcoats
or clothing inside the coach.
