Winter TC use: Interior condensation
or in this case the lack there of.
Last year when we went to Yosemite and got snowed on the temperatures were in the 20s and it was practically raining on us inside the Lance 1055. late this fall I went to work on upping the insulation after we had a shower pipe ice up. I sealed the waste tank drain compartment and insulated it with r13 fiberglass and I made r13 fiberglass plugs for all the compartment doors. Inside the TC I used 1" dense closed cell foam to cover all the windows, skylights (including the Heki hatch) and vent hatches. two adults 3 dogs daytime highs of 35 night time lows that dipped into the single digits, no vents open, propane heat on to 64 in the day and 50 at night and we did not have a single bit of condensation on the walls. Now when I pulled the foam off the windows to look out during the day, yep they were covered in moisture. I'm sold on using the foam. Two trips now with temps at night between 9-16 degrees with zero condensation issues and we only used 3/4 of one propane tank for heat in 2 days. of course your results may vary.
