Get a small dehumidifier, not dry-z-air, and electric unit. We have zero condensation in cold damp locations, spent six months at the Oregon Coast.
exactly. you've got several things working against you.
1) same amount of perspiration etc. as in a house but less air volume
2) anytime you run the stove for every gallon of propane burned you are putting almost 1 gallon of water in the air
3) even with fans on you get added moisture when showering.
4) less insulation than a sticks and bricks.
All this means a higher indoor humidity than sticks and bricks, combined with lower insulation, much easier to hit the dew point on any cool surface. Windows, walls, ceiling etc.
As long as you have 120V available run a small compressor driven dehumidifier 24/7. When at the oregon coast we will pull 5+ gallons of water out of the air in the first 12 hours, then it drops down. But if we come in with damp clothes or humidity goes up, the amount the dehumidifier pulls out goes up. And still open vents when showering etc.
AND. it keeps the windows from fogging up in the morning as well.
Best $100 you will spend
this ^^^ is the best cure for your problem. check Amazon for a Ivation I have the 2200 cu ft. model priced at 59.99 its small and quiet and works great.
