The vents don't take moisture out of the RV, Moisture is in the air and the only way to get it out is to run a Dehumidifier.

I believe the gross weight on this unit is about 14000lbs.
OldTrucker, you might consider using a small portion of the rear window sometime to mount a backup camera on the inside, looking out. Paint the window with that in mind. Those cameras are great for making sure your tow'd is still attached or has a flat. Just a thought - with the walls still open, you can still do anything you want. Putting your bath in the rear is just like putting the kitchen back there - the bounce effect is greatest at the rear of the coach. Make sure everything back there can be well secured when you go down the road. Most rigs have the bath and kitchen over or in front of the rear tires for a reason.

It is like the windows When the hot reaches the cold windows then you get water on the inside of the window, If it is cold inside the RV and cold outside the RV then you get No water.
What part do the roof vents play in taking the moisture out of the MH? We keep the roof vents open, with Max Air covers, and have no problem with moisture. Houses don't have these vents.
