Condensation
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. When the temperature reaches the “dew point” the water vapor in
the air condenses and changes to a liquid form.
Proper ventilation or the use of a dehumidifier (customer supplied) will assist in controlling
the condensation. Suggestions to eliminate warm moist air:
Crack open windows and roof vents to allow warm moist air to escape.
Open the bath roof vent (if so equipped) approximately ½” when showering.
Use the range hood fan (if so equipped) when cooking or washing dishes.
Avoid hanging wet towels (or clothes) inside the recreation vehicle to dry.
If found in cabinets or closets, open the doors slightly to provide ventilation.
Condensation may cause dampness, mildew, mold, staining and, if allowed to
continue, it may result in damage to the recreation vehicle (damage caused by
condensation is not warrantable). It can also lead to mold or mildew issues,
which could be a health hazard.
During cool weather usage, ventilation or addition of a dehumidifier may be re
-
quired to reduce condensation.
Check outside extrusions on compartment doors, locks, slide outs, windows,
vents, etc., for frozen moisture before operating to avoid damage to parts.
