Controlling Moisture Condensation
You can reduce or eliminate interior moisture condensation during cold weather
by taking the following steps:
1.
Ventilate with outside air. Partially open one or more roof vents
and one or more windows to provide controlled circulation of
outside air into the interior. While this ventilation will increase
furnace heating load, it will greatly reduce, or eliminate water
condensation.
2.
Reduce moisture released inside the vehicle. Run the range vent
fan when cooking and the bath vent fan (or open the bath vent)
when bathing to carry water vapor out of the RV. Avoid making
steam from excessive boiling or use of hot water.
3.
Do not heat the RV interior with the range or oven. In addition to
the hazards of toxic fumes and oxygen depletion which makes
heating by the range or oven very dangerous, open flames add
moisture to the interior air, increasing condensation.
4.
Do not use an air humidifier inside the RV. Water put
into the air by the humidifier will increase
condensation.
5.
Ventilate closets and cabinets. During prolonged use in very cold
weather, leave cabinet and closet doors partially open to warm
and ventilate the interiors of storage compartments built against
exterior walls. The airflow will warm the exterior wall surface,
reducing or eliminating condensation and preventing possible ice
formation.
6.
Install a dehumidifier appliance. During prolonged, continuous
use, a dehumidifying appliance may be more comfortable and
effective in removing excess moisture from the interior air.
While use of a dehumidifier is not a “cure all”, and ventilation,
storm windows and moisture reduction continue to be important,
operation of the dehumidifier will reduce the amount of outside
air needed for ventilation. Heating load on the furnace will be
reduced and the interior will be less drafty.
