Never had this problem, try to be where it isn't that humid. My first thought would be a dehumidifier in the basement with the drain line routed through a hole in the floor that could be plugged when needed. Not sure if all basements have an electric outlet, but think most do.

Probably coming from your back flow preventer for black tank flush located in bathroom cupboard. Mine leaked down to basement storage.

I had had water in the basement also when we got our new unit and it was coming from loose fittings on the water pump.

We also had water in the basement, loose connection in the convenience center, just enough to keep the floor wet.

If it is a water leak be sure to remove the plastic panel to access the area behind the convenience center. We had the constant dampness on the basement floor early on, found several of the white fittings slightly loose. Tightened carefully with pliers and have never had another leak since.

Never heard of anyone having that type of condensation problem. Dry it up, take off the side cover and begin the search. Our rig has drain and water lines running across the basement in addition to the things mentioned above. Possible cause could be anywhere, but doubtful it's condensation.
