Condensation

On real cold mornings my windows have a lot of condensation. Worse yet is my bedroom slide is damp in the far corners where head board is. I am sure it isn’t a leak as we had a warm week with buckets of rain last week with no dampness.
To feel the dampness it is necessary to run your arm down between the mattress and wall in the corner. Any one else ever felt for dampness there?

By the way my DW has rid x bags in several areas.

We have found slightly opening a window helps with condensation.

Not a problem out west, but when we wintered in the east we used a small dehumidifier.

We leave a ceiling vent slightly opened. Human respiration has a high moisture content. Hard to imagine doing this as you are trying to keep the inside of the coach warm but it does work.

We keep 2 dehumidifiers running full-time while in humid areas. Like now in Corpus Christi.

We open the bath room vent and have a dehumidifier. I a lot harder when it's cold out and you are running the heater and breathing at the same time but it works good.
