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....

Some one says cold winter air is dry....hasn't lived in this part of the country where we can have high humidity levels and teen/single digit temps and 40 mph winds.
The mod mentioned the biggest source of humidity in a trailer and thats an open flame from the cooking stove.
Three way chili is popular around our house in the winter. A big pan of boiling water when cooking the Spaghetti has condensation dripping every where.
What works for keeping condensation out of a rv depends on several criteria such as.......
outside RH levels
inside RH levels
level of a units insulating values
double pane vs single pane windows
aluminum vs wood construction
wind speeds
outside temps
how much cooking is done on the propane stove
how much liquids is used when cooking
As my reply earlier says a vented trailer made a cold drafty camper and actually created more condensation.
The OP will have to use the different methods rv folks have found when fighting condensation in a particular unit in his particular part of the country.
