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....

People can argue until the cows come home about where the moisture comes from.
Does it really make any difference? No. The fact is that when it is cold outside and warm inside, you will get moisture problems if you don't ventilate or use a dehumidifier. And moisture is an enemy of your trailer.
You breathe, you sweat, you cook, you take a shower. That puts moisture into your camper. Warm, moist air comes into contact with cold surfaces - trailer walls and windows. Condensation happens.
This isn't rocket science folks. Anyone who has been in a camper in cold conditions has experienced this. A vented furnace isn't directly contributing moisture to the air from burning propane because that moisture is exhausted to the outside. BUT it is still contributing to the problem because it is warming the air in the camper, which is part of what causes the condensation problem.
