Cold weather camping and sweating in closet

We went camping last weekend and the temperature dropped below freezing which wasn't a problem for the furnace or us. However, upon opening a couple of the overhead cabinets and the walk in closet we found some sweating along the top edge of the walls. Has anyone had this issue, and if so, what did you do? I figure we just need to leave the doors open on the overheads and the closet, but thought maybe there was something else we needed to do. Haven't RV camped in cold weather before, but will be traveling to the mountains in the near future so need some advice. New 2014 Rockwood Windjammer.

    It's just a by product of breathing - so maybe it's a good sign!
    If the condensation stops, check your pulse.

    More ventilation. We have had that problem in the closet and where the bed mattress was against the wall. It would be colder in those areas and condense. We opened the fantastic vent just a little more. It loses more heat but that's just the price we pay to get rid of moisture.

    Good question and I look forward to the opinions offered. I make sure that cooking and showering moisture is vented to the outside and that the remainder of the trailer remains above the dew point at as much as possible.
