Question on condensation and using heat???
I know that using the heat in the cool spring nights will create alot of condensation. I have a max air fan that I use on low all night long when i run my furnace and i also crack a window on one end ...

Hi, it looks like others have answered in the time that I composed my response, but here it is anyway.
Unless it is an unvented gas heater, the heater alone shouldn't add much moisture to the air. If it does, you might want to have the heater serviced.
Warming the air (however you choose to do it) allows more moisture to be held by that air and your breathing alone is probably adding the majority of the moisture. This moisture then condenses on windows and poorly insulated walls when the outside temperature drops.
The easiest solution is to increase ventilation. Try opening a ceiling vent at one end of the unit and crack a window at the other end. Then, when you shower or cook, turn on an exhaust fan. Yes, opening a vent and window will require the heater to run more, but that is the cost of this technique.
If you have shore power available, you could add a dehumidifier. But you will have the electric cost to run it in addition to the cost to purchase the dehumidifier.
Another option would be to dive your RV to someplace that is warm and dry.
Other, less viable options, include running the AC or not breathing (more specifically) not exhaling :)
