The trick to living in a humid climate is to open windows & let air flow through. It was 85% humidity here today. No rain.

Summer on the Oregon is a **** shoot, while the humidity can be high so is the due point and it is warmer,’so not much condensation. Currently pulling a gallon a day out of our 32’ 5er on the coast.

In the Northwest, the closets in older houses had windows which could be opened on fair days so clothes did not mildew. The Coast is the most humid part.

I think it is a rule in OR to leave all windows and vents open 24/7 to enjoy the breeze, smell, and white noise of the beautiful pacific ocean. If its not a rule it should be.

You will need campground reservations IF they ever open. KEN

Lol. How long since you left the sandbox? (Yuma)
FWIW, June thru Aug is quite dry and low humidity, generally in the PNW. A 180 deg departure from the rest of the year. Even near the coast.

Only if you were going to be stationary and over winter. Having the roof vent fan on low is one way to keep air moving while parked. That will reduce the moisture accumulation. Run it when you are off on a walk.

Suggest you open all the windows you can when you move...get that air flowing.

We drove up the Oregon coast, and I don't remember it being any different than the midwest, as far as humidity goes. It's an amazing drive!!

No, but you have the right idea. The coast can be like living in a cloud.

NOPE
