We lived in a 32' 5er for one winter while our house was being built. Typical summer camper with 13 single pane windows and R7 insulation.
We 1st tried the cracked windows and roof vents and three fans running day and nite but all the accomplished was a cold drafty camper with the furnace running 24/7. I even made inside window covers from 1/8" Lexan and mobilehome skirting which helped in warmth but the condensation really got bad as temps dropped to zeros and 40 mph winds. Finally bought two big dehumidifiers that did the trick.
Down in your part of the country one dehumidifier may do the trick.
