    Welcome to the forum. I moved your post to the Interior channel, as I assume your reference to moisture is inside your RV.

    Can you elaborate more on the moisture issue? If you're in a cold climate fighting moisture build up inside of a trailer is normal.

      Cold weather will cause moisture in the trailer. Cooking, washing, breathing, etc, puts moisture into the air and since you are probably closed up, it has no where to go. You could open the roof vents and/or the range fan and run them to pull some of the moisture out. You could also use a small dehumidifier to pull moisture out of the air. If you put it into the shower, you could drain the water there, but it will make use of your grey water tank.

      Moisture on windows, walls, etc are the reason to order a unit with double pane windows. It help cut the temp difference between the outside glass and inside temps. Also saves on propane in heating.

        Electric dehumidifiers help.

        With a small dehumidifier running with the RV in storage:
        80 F Temperature 1 12-9-2019 5:41:12 PM
        56 % Relative Humidity 2 12-9-2019 5:12:54 PM
        1.055 Amps

        With a bit bigger one running while in storage:
        81.1 F Temperature 1 12-15-2019 3:29:29 PM
        45 % Relative Humidity 2 12-15-2019 3:29:29 PM
        2.759 Amperes 12-15-2019 4:16:21 PM

        53 F Temperature 1 1-4-2020 10:55:08 AM
        41 % Relative Humidity 2 1-4-2010 10:55:09 AM
