dumb question.... Where is this propane water coming from? The air?
propane is a hydrocarbon, (C3H8) . Burn it and the combustion yields H2O and CO2. Same as a NG furnace in your house, or the gas/diesel engine in your car.
C3H8+5O2= 3CO2 + 4H2O Carbon Dioxide + Water
Now in a trailer your furnace and water heater vent outside so no CO2 or H2O added to the air in the trailer. But with an unvented propane heater or your stove or oven, it gets vented into the air in the trailer.
And with incomplete combustion you can get CO (carbon MONoxide) instead of CO2,
