Been here my whole life and still trying to figure out how to avoid mold. If you're going to be in a RV, it's going to be a challengr to keep condensation down. All that moisture seems to mostly collect in the window channels and starts molding fast. My inlaws spent one winter in their Fifth wheel here and never did it again.
Well we full time in the PNW, currently Park Hosting about 50’ off the Pacific Ocean on the Oregon. Coast. We have very little issues with dampness and mold. We heat with the furnace using the RV Comfort Systems “Cheap Heat” and have a dehumidifier set at about 40%, need to empty the container about once a day. Run the bathroom fan when showering and kitchen vent when cooking.
The dehumidifier is what's keeping you dry. If the OP has the same issues my inlaws did, that is the best answer - and not a passive unit. He'd need a 120V unit.
We got our at HD for about $150, about the only time we see condensation on windows is when we have a cold driving rain.
