codensation

 

"the problem of condensation. Moisture from cooking, washing and just our breathing raises the humidity inside the RV. As it gets colder, this moisture condenses out on cooler inside surfaces like window frames and doors. This can lead to mold and mildew, water stains or even worse. The best way to prevent condensation is to avoid introducing excessive moisture into the air. A good practice is to always use the range hood vent when cooking and the bathroom vent when showering. This will draw most of that moisture out of the rig. It may be necessary to keep a roof vent open slightly to provide some ventilation and keep condensation in check. Insulating exposed surfaces that tend to collect moisture will also help. A small dehumidifier or some of those little tubs of desiccant crystals may be necessary, depending on the RV and how many are staying in it."

 

HAPPY PODing !!!

I did open the bathroom vent 1/2 or so, with no fan, but then again it was 45 degrees cold (or rather warm depending on our point of view)

I'm contemplating installing one myself.

I'm amazed at how airtight the R-Pod is, which is a primary reason for the condensation build-up.  When I fire up the fantastic shower fan, it actually sounds like it is laboring, and noticeably speeds up once I crack open a window.
