Condensation/Temp Control
Just looking for opinions. We are staying in a very cold area (mid-teens at night) so we run heat quite a bit. We have a Class A with the large front windshield and we keep the curtains drawn almos...

The furnace is similar to the way the water heater works. The water heater has a heat tube where the combustion takes place. This heat tube loops around the water tank and then exits to the outside. At no time is the combustion flame or gases inside your coach, unless the heat tube has a hole in it.
The same thing happens with your furnace. There is a heat box that contains the combustion chamber with the flame that exhausts all gases to the exterior. The combustion flame also receives oxygen from the outside. The fan only blows interior air across the heated box and recycles that heated air throughout the coach. No combustion gases can get inside the coach unless there is a hole in the combustion chamber box, in which case your CO alarm would be blaring.
People, showers, and cooking all put moisture in to the air inside your coach. A resistance type heater will tend to minimize the effects of that moisture.
A simple fan is all you need to keep your windshield clear.
