To increase ventilation:
1 . Use the kitchen and bath exhaust fans, if
equipped, when cooking or bathing . Let
them run for a while after a bath or meal .
2 . Ventilate with outside air . Partially open
one or more roof vents and/or windows
to provide circulation of outside air into
the interior . While this ventilation will
increase furnace heating load, it will
greatly reduce, or eliminate, condensation .
Even when it is raining or snowing, out-
side air will be far drier than interior air
and will effectively reduce condensation .
3 . Do not tape windows or doors closed .
This will prevent any air movement and
will make the condensation problem
worse .
4 . Ventilate closets and cabinets . During
use in cold weather, leave cabinet and
closet doors partially open to warm and
ventilate the interiors of storage com-
partments built against exterior walls .
The air flow will warm the exterior wall
surface, and reduce condensation, and
prevent possible ice formation . Avoid
crowding closets or wardrobe space .
Overstuffed closets restrict air flow.
5 . Stock kitchen and bath cabinets to allow
free air circulation .
6 . Open window coverings and windows
as often as possible and convenient .
7 . Control the interior heat . Here are some
tips on controlling humidity with heat:
• Keep registers and the furnace blower
clean and unobstructed . This helps air
circulation .
• Do not operate a humidity device on
your furnace .
Dripping Ceiling Vents
During cold weather condensation frequently
forms on ceiling vents and may even accumulate
to the point of dripping onto the surfaces below .
This is frequently misinterpreted as a “leaking”
roof vent but is most often condensation . Follow
the preceding steps to control moisture conden-
sation, and protect surfaces with plastic sheeting
until the moisture has dissipated .
Important InformatIon
Mold is a fungus that occurs naturally in the
environment and serves necessary functions
including aiding in the decomposition of plant
and other organic material . Mold spreads by
means of microscopic spores borne on the wind
and is found everywhere life can be supported .
Mold has existed for millions of years, and
human beings have coexisted despite their expo-
sure to mold and mold spores .
If the proper conditions are present, mold can
and will grow in your recreational vehicle . Most
RV owners are familiar with mold growth in
the form of bread and cheese and on bathroom
tile, In order to grow, mold requires a food
source . These food sources might be supplied
by items found in the RV such as fabric, carpet,
wallpaper, or building materials (i .e ., wood, and
insulation) . Also, most mold growth requires a
temperate climate . The best growth occurs at
cautIon

warnIng
Never use open flame Propane or kerosene-burning
heaters indoors. These devices release water into
the air, and the exhaust gases contain poisonous
substances .
!
warnIng
Do not cover emergency exit window(s). This
window must be left accessible at all times for
emergency exit.
!
Do not heat the RV interior with the range or oven.
Open flames add moisture to the interior air. Do not
use an air humidifier inside the RV. Water put into the
air by the humidifier will in crease condensation.
