Condensation and Roof Construction Concerns

..Not full timers, but camping this Thanksgiving in the mountains of WVa. We got here this past Saturday and got caught in the snow/cold/wind/ice that hit the some of the southeast and the north east...Several day's now where it didn't get above 30 degrees...this morning, temp is 18 with a wind chill of 11, nothing frozen, no condensation on the windows, have the furnace set on 72, (but I would think it's much warmer where you are?), and we have one of those electric fireplaces that we've had running in the livingroom and a small ceramic heater in the bed room, (set with thermostat), and no condensation anywhere, but we do have the dual pane windows.

Do you have any of your ceiling vent's open? Mine are closed and the insulation is in the ceiling opening, but opening a vent may help with the condensation, as would possibly slightly opening a window. May sound counter productive, but could help wit you condensation issue. Having gone though what you are going through now with pass units, I would keep window wiped off. As far as what you're doing with the tape, I would guess it's not going to hurt anything, but don't know that it'll help you solve your condensation issue. Again, cracking vents open, possibly getting a de-humidifier would probably help more.

What temps. are you experiencing?

Hi NC Hauler, thanks for your thoughts and experience, I'm an original Tarheel myself. Our temp last night was 26 and the previous night was 28. We've recently had LOTS of rain but the past two days were fairly clear. I did open the bathroom vent yesterday to see if it would help. The windows were pretty clear this morning and the bathroom skylight was not as wet as before. They are single pain windows.
