Condensation In TT on Cold Mornings
My DW and I went on our first October camping trip and first night out when it was cold enough to get condensation inside the TT. Question: What is the best way to prevent this? Not only the windo...

Our last two RV trailers were the newer aluminum framed with the sandwich sidewall construction. Condensation is a huge issue unlike our other older units with wood framed sidewalls and rolled batt insulation which were warmer and much quieter.
We lived in a 27" aluminum framed with the sandwinch sidewalls for one winter here in northern Oklahoma. Temp down in the single digits on occasion with 35-40 mph winds much of the time. Condensation was a very big issue.
I skirted the 5er with mobile home skirting which helped keep the cold out of the floors. I made 1/8" Lexan storm windows for all the many windows. That also helped keep the trailer much warmer but still had moisture issues
We tried cracking the vents but all that accomplished was a colder/drafter trailer which caused the heater to run twice as much. We were using a 30 lb propane bottle every third day when it was cold.
We set two 12" fans up but all that did was move the same air around. Who wants to live with a fan blowing air around in the winter. Still had the same condensation problem.
Finally our RV dealer service mgr who lives just down the road says to get two dehumidifiers. We tried one but found it took two to finally get rid of our condensation problems.
