Weird, I've only noticed condensation issues (mildew smell) in the summer in the mid Atlantic area. We had an older camper before our new one and we would notice the mildew smell (like I remember all older campers smelling) in the summer. I decided to purchase two roof vent covers and leave my vents cracked (one vent in front bedroom, one vent in back bathroom). Ever since then I have had ZERO mildew smells.
Now I am fortunate enough to have a metal carport to park under at home and leave the some windows open and roof vents cracked. Not a single odor yet! I think the very best thing for trailers is to allow them to acclimate to the outside temp and humidity. Closing it off is still going to allow humidity to enter, but maybe not allow enough fresh air to dissipate the humidity.
