Water condensation

We took our rpod 171 at this past weekend for the first time.  Friday night was about 40 and then it rained on Saturday till about 5:00 PM then got cold down to 30.  Saturday night as we got into bed the bed was wet under the rear window.  The curtain was also wet.  I looked for a leak but did not see one.  Also we was up front by the two benches.  Our old camper did not do something like this.

Condensation is something that happens a lot when there isn't ventilation.  One window cracked just a little will usually take care of it.  Sometimes you need cross ventilation by opening 2 sources of air.  Just having people in a camper can produce enough water vapor to cause this.

I'm don't think my problem is Water condensation.  We just took delivery of a 171 a little over a week ago.  We had memory foam over the mattress and found it was very wet under the rear window (not sopping but more moist than condensation).  I live in Florida and we have not camped in the unit yet.  I have an appointment to take it back to the dealer to check for leaks next Tuesday.  We've had a lot of rain duing the week and I feel it must be getting in some way.  I'll update this post with what I find after it is checked.

We take ours out this weekend and they are predicting rain and large shifts in temp so should be a good test of the condensation vs leak thing.  I do think however that there is need for ongoing ventilation of the unit in order to minimize the condensation.  They are built so air tight that simply the breathing of two occupants can add condensation to the windows/walls. The dampness by the rear window is disturbing though.  I'll be interested in hearing what your dealer says.  Good Luck
