Moisture behind mattress? (Cold caught us)
We've traveled in our C class for a few years but haven't been in a situation where it's cold for multiple days. This morning I discovered moisture behind the mattress, likely because we were in 70° y...

It may be well-nigh unavoidable. If the inside of the exterior wall is cooler than the dew point of the air in the RV, you're going to get condensation; so the only options are to reduce the humidity of the air inside (and that may make it a lot drier than you care to be breathing) or raise the temperature of the wall, say by moving the mattress aside for awhile...or going somewhere warmer.
If it were me, I'd probably just move the mattress aside during the day to give the area a chance to warm up and dry up/air out, and not worry too much about it beyond that. Obviously taking reasonable steps to control the inside humidity is also a good idea, such as cracking a roof vent or two. Cooking, breathing, and showering all add a good bit of moisture to the air, and it's rather inconvenient to live without any of them, to say the least.
