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....

You will have the same amount of humidity produced whether you run the furnace or not run the furnace. The furnace is not going to raise the humidity.
It is not just the level of humidity that causes the problem. The difference in temp between outside and inside is what ultimately does it.
Set a glass of ice water on the counter and watch the condensation form.
Set a glass of room temp. water next to it, and observe that condensation does NOT happen on it.
So not running the heat and having a cold TT will prevent condensation.
But since most of us like it warm in our RVs, other control methods must be used.
Breathing into warm air raises the humidity level more than breathing into cold air.... This makes the problem more severe.
Do SOMETHING to mitigate it or you WILL have problems down the road.
My owners manuals for my last two TTs from different manufacturers warn of this as well.
