Part of the "charm" of having a HTT. We never had it that bad, though. If you cooked inside, don't. I know it's tough to cook outdoors in frigid temps, but if it's necessary to cook inside, use the oven rather than the stovetop and turn on the vent fan above the stove. Any time the temps would be warm enough, suggest you open everything up, even if it means removing and then replacing the reflectix. At the very least, leave the door open and the bathroom vent fan on. 3 people in a 19 is plenty, as noted, so you're going to have to be really aggressive in making sure you don't generate any more moisture. Be sure, very first thing in the morning to check the bottom of the mattress....if it's damp, use something to elevate it so that it can dry....even some cans of whatever will do the trick, but wipe down the deck and let the mattress dry out. This time of the year and again in the early spring it's a real stinker for moisture and lots of posts re that. You're not alone, but you sure had the "perfect storm" to have that much moisture. Oh, BTW, when you straighten the beds, make sure no bedding is touching the tentends as it will wick moisture. Hang in there, great weather will come again and this will be a thing of the past.
Thanks everyone, From what I’m reading it sounds like I needed more air movement and venting (we ran the electric heater most nights) so the main furnace did not kick on very often. Odd thing is that’s the totally different then I was thinking. I figured if I was not running and gas burners “M-Buddy” heater ext. I could seal it up tight and not lose any heat. I love camping this time a year so I’ll need to figure out a way to keep out the rain forest.
