I have a problem with condensation forming on walls where the frame work is,all corners.we live in this thing for weeks at a time during winter and when we heat it up here come the condensation, has anyone found a fix for this thanks,also i dont have access to electricity 24/7 so a dehumitifer is not an option,lookin for other options thanks

Hi,Welcome to the forums!What to do about condensation?The cause of the condensation is the walls are below the dew point temperature. If the walls can be made warm enough the problem disappears. Running a fan to circulate air may help to raise the temperature on the surface of the wall.One other solution is to reduce the relative humidity inside the RV.The easiest way to do that is to open a roof vent a bit, find the furthest window from the vent and open that a bit. An electric heater near the window will improve that and keep you warmer. I'd suggest a low wattage radiant type, or a small oil filled (if the oil filled can be on a shelf so the air from the window passes over the fins.)I know opening a vent and window when it is cold seems counter intuitive, but it does work.Another possible solution is an electric dehumidifier--but the cooler it is the poorer they work. They are generally energy hogs, some what bulky and definitely noisy.The above is from this series of posts under full time RV'ing:https://forums.goodsamclub.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/24160748.cfmI suggest reading it soon!

Very common and normal when living in a box that has 2" think wall....in the winter.pianotuna above has some good solutions.

Condensation is your doing, not the RV’s doing. Open a window, buy a dehumidifier regardless of your electricity issue, lower the indoor temperature etc. An RV isn’t a stick and brick.

As the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor air increases, so too does the dehumidifying effect of ventilation.

Thanks for all the information on condensation in camper,will invest in dehumidifer that can run on generator

Probably a wise decision although expensive one.

The odd thing is I have to run a humidifier of a winter in Kansas and a dehumidifier if I winter in Florida.

Is this your first time owning a camper? How cold is the area you are in? In the mid-atlantic we get serious condensation in the spring and fall.

I have had campers for along time and this is my first fiberglass sided camper, when it sweats i can see where it collects where the frame work is in the walls wherw thete is no insulation
