ONDENSATION
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The
amount of condensation will vary with climate
conditions, particularly the relative humidity.
Condensation occurs because there is water
vapor present in the air, which each of us
adds to by breathing, bathing or cooking. The
water vapor usually collects on the coolest
surfaces. When the temperature reaches the
“dew point,” the water vapor in the air
condenses and changes to a liquid form. If
moisture is unable to escape the RV, you will
experience condensation.
Most people have experienced this
phenomenon when a moisture forms on their
windows. Outside air is cooling the window on
the outside while inside air is warming the
window on the inside; the resulting moisture is
attracted to that surface and the windows
begin to sweat.
To reduce condensation
Proper ventilation and, if needed, the use of a
dehumidifier (customer supplied) will assist in
controlling condensation. Many RV and
marine dealers carry small dehumidifiers
sized for RV use. Other suggestions are:
Crack open windows and roof vents to
allow warm moist air to escape.
When taking a shower open the bath roof
vent (if so equipped) approximately ½”
allowing the moisture to escape.
Use the range hood fan (if so equipped)
when cooking or washing dishes.
Avoid hanging wet towels (or clothes)
inside the RV to dry.
If condensation is found in cabinets or
closets, open those doors slightly to
equalize the temperature and provide
ventilation.

Now that you have
parked your RV (and
blocked the wheels if
needed), you need to
ensure it is level.
Leveling is very
important. A level RV is
more comfortable for
sleeping and walking.
The refrigerator is designed to operate when
level for best performance due to the
absorption system. The water drainage
systems are designed with proper slope and
must be level for proper operation. The
appliances perform best when level.

Like a residential recliner, the motorhome
recliner has side controls allowing you to
recline or swivel the chair. To revert the
recliner chair back to the upright position,
depress the side control and gently apply
pressure to the recliner leg rest. Refer to the
furniture manufacturer’s care instructions for

The hide-a-bed sofa functions much the same
as a regular residential hide-a-bed sofa. To
make the hide-a-bed sofa into a bed, remove
the seat cushions and pull the strap located at
the front of the sofa seat bottom out towards
you firmly and gently.
To convert the hide-a-bed back into the
upright sofa position, reverse the process
(make sure to pull the seat belts out into their
usable positions). Be sure to hold the sofa
strap firmly to ensure the hide-a-bed sofa
does not suddenly drop shut. Refer to the
furniture manufacturer’s care instructions for
Condensation needs to be taken seriously.
Ignoring it can damage the RV (damage
caused by condensation is not
warrantable), and more importantly could
lead to mold or mildew issues which could
be a health hazard.
Fig. 11.1 Blocking the
wheels
Always use seatbelts if sitting in the
recliner chair while the motorhome is in
transit (the recliner should be locked into
the forward facing position).
