condensation in t/t

when driving down to Fla.from Michigan in Dec. we get a lot of condensation on things in the trailer any ideas to prevent this.
  • X2 on the "Damp Rid" It sells for $5 for the small container or $10 for the big container at Wally in the camping section near automotive.
  • DampRid is another solution and it words very well and is cheap. A starter kit and and two refills costs under $20. The water collects in the bottom of the container and you pour it out. When the packets are empty you put two more inside for another $3.50 and are good to go.
  • Open up vents and windows, until the moisture equalizes inside with out side, probably as well as temperatures. Warm air holds more moisture, get the warm moist air out of your trailer and the condensation problems go away.

    Other option is don't drive to the south, especially to a state that's a big huge long jutting out peninsula surrounded by warm ocean currents and waters on 3 sides. Maybe head north, instead.
  • Open your roof vents a tad and it will prevent condensation. Air flow (ventilation) is key as mentioned. This is true while parked as well.
  • Condensation is result of cold meeting warm - usually takes place on window frames. Were you running heater in trailer when you were on road?
