We have a Keystone Passport 3390bh. We saw a Thor Outlaw and are very interested (although mostly in last years 37MD). We keep it about 72 in our trailer. One question we have is that with our tra...

I have a class A Bounder with dual pane windows and also have a similar Olympic Catalytic Safety heater, and it will put out a lot of moisture to the air when dry camping with it on.
The solution to the moisture is more fresh air in and let it out the roof vents. The outside air - while humid is also cold. Cold air can not hold much moisture, so the 'grains per cubic foot' is really low. Bring in even 100% humid 40F air with only a few grains per cubic foot and warm it to 70F, it will become 22% RH air, and soak up a lot of moisture.
I never had condensation on my sidewalls like you are having, but yes I do have steel framed walls, with joints every 36" to 48" along the sidewalls. We do not have 'dripping' high humidity out west. Yes the windshield (my only single pane window) will get really wet, as it is as cold as the outside air, and like a beer can, will condense a lot of moisture on it. I just used a towel to pick up the excess moisture.
