The heat exchanger of the furnace is heavily coated with vegetable oil on both sides during assembly to stave off corrosion. It can take a fair amount of time to burn all this off and it maybe whats causing the alarm.
I would open the windows and set the stat to a high temp and let it run 30~ 60 minutes.
The dealer should have done this prior to delivery.
Exactly my suggestion.
As far as the condensation, open a vent farther and run the furnace. Numerous people sleeping in an exclosed camper emit a lot of water vapor if there is not enough circulation of air, your going to have the condesation on the windows and/or dampness issues.
If you don't have a vent cover like a maxair or fantastic, you are quickly going to learn why these are so popular. These covers that cover the little, thin, and after a while brittle vent covers that come standard, protect those thin covers from being damaged by hail and UV and most importantly, allow you to open the vents nearly all the way without risk of rain getting in. Buy and install one, maybe over the bathroom vent that has a fan and your issue is solved.
We are putting in a fantastic vent as soon as the weather permits. I didn't know about the condensation, if I did I would have left the fan running. We do have the vent cover from the HT and I'm sure we can get that on tomorrow I'm also buying CO, fire detector and digital thermostat today. Thank you everyone for all of your help and have a blessed Memorial Day.
