Trailer Vented With Furnace On?
DW thinks opening vents or windows with the furnace on will help cut down on condensation. I'd just as soon close it up tight & not lose the heat. Aaaand, discuss....

Wasn't there a episode of the original Star Trek where they beamed a small probe on board the Enterprise named Nomad and it kept saying "Non sequitur , it does not compute" ?myredracer wrote:

I can't say that I have. It's been over 20 years since I've been to a theater. I don't even like to watch them at home. I much prefer reality to make believe...
I should have been keeping a log book of all the crazy things I have seen. It would have been a best seller. I could never make up all this stuff.mike-s wrote:

Bottom line. The human body DOES introduce moisture into the air.
This is one reason why we must drink water,,, to replace it.
Why so arrogant Mike????

Remember this from page one? "Yeah, and where do you propose that this additional moisture which the warm air can hold comes from?
Non sequitur.
Regular furnaces exhaust all the combustion byproducts, which includes the moisture (hydrocarbons + oxygen = H2O as a major byproduct). Running a furnace adds no additional moisture to the interior air."
That sir is non sequiter.
All of your comments on this thread have been of no consequence...
The OP wants to know if venting will cut down on condensation.
Will venting cut down on condensation.
yes or no?- If the inside air is the same temp as the outside air temp, there won't be any condensation in the camper. If the inside air temp is lower, no condensation. If the inside air temp is higher, there is a good possibility of condensation. It really depends on the dew point.
The human body puts out a lot of moisture. To show my students this, I had them put a clear plastic bag loosely over their head and go outside on a cold day. Took only a couple of breaths before the inside was coated with moisture. It also showed them the concept of condensation. - Non sequitur.

Do you vent your TT when using the heater in cold temps? Yes or no.
Do you use a dehumidifier when using your TT with the heater on in cold temps? Yes or no.Huntindog wrote:

This moisture can cause condensation when inside a small heated enclosed box like a TT, when the outside temps are cold.
This condensation can cause serious damage to the TT.
If you want to eliminate this source of moisture, you can simply take the humans out of the box.... Of course this isn't practical, so other methods SHOULD be used.
If you do not believe this, or want to employ any of these measures... It is your TT, and your money and your choice to do so.
Happy camping
