Tips To Control Condensation
Allow excess moisture to escape to the outside when:
• Bathing, washing dishes, hair drying, etc�
• Laundering, using appliances, and using non-vented
gas burners�
• Cooking (Always use the stove vent hood).
Avoid dead air spaces by:
• Using a fan to keep air circulating�
• Leaving closet and cabinet doors partially open�
To help alleviate cold weather condensation:
• Keep the temperature as reasonably cool during cold
weather as possible�
• Allow your trailer to breathe; do not make it airtight�
• Allow some warm air to be removed and some cool
outside air in�
• Do not allow the furnace to recycle humid interior air;
provide reasonable ventilation�
In hot weather, starting the air conditioner early
will help remove excess humidity from the air while
lowering temperatures�
NOTE
Your trailer is not designed, nor intended, for
permanent housing. Use of this product for
long-term or permanent occupancy may lead
to premature deterioration of structure, interior
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 may therefore reduce the warranty
protection.
Molds
Molds are microscopic organisms that naturally
occur in virtually every environment, indoors and
out� Outdoors, mold growth is important in the
decomposition of plants� Indoors, mold growth is
unfavorable� Left unchecked, molds break down
natural materials such as wood products and fabrics�
Protect your investment by understanding the potential
risks mold imposes�
Contributing Factors To Mold Growth
For mold growth to occur, temperatures, indoor or
outdoors, must be between 40° and 100°F, and must
also have a source of moisture, such as humidity,
standing water, damp materials, etc� Indoors, the most
rapid growth occurs with warm and humid conditions�
Inhibiting Mold Growth
By controlling relative humidity, the growth of mold and
mildew can be inhibited� In warm climates, use of the
air conditioner will reduce the relative humidity� Vents
are located in the bathing and cooking areas� Constant
use of these vents is advised during food preparation
and bathing, even during colder weather� Additionally,
opening a window during these activities will assist in
ventilation� In extremely humid conditions, the use of a
dehumidifier can be helpful.
Frequent use of your trailer or cleaning regularly are
important preventive measures� Additionally, any
spills should be wiped up quickly and dried as soon
as possible� Avoid leaving damp items lying about�
On safe surfaces, use mold-or mildew-killing cleaning
products� Check sealants regularly, and reseal when
necessary to avoid water leaks� Proper preventive
maintenance to the trailer and its accessories, as
described both in this manual and in accompanying
literature, will provide the best protection to the trailer�

NOTE
If using a dehumidifier, please read and follow all
manufacturer instructions and recommendations
for the use and cleaning of the dehumidifier.
