Condensation Inside TC!!?

[Lexicon7]

Hi Guys, woke up this morning and the escape hatch over the bed was lined with little droplets all the way around it? At first I thought it had rained real hard but it was dry outside so realized it was obviously condensation from my heavy breathing.. The weather did change where I am right now last couple of days and got colder so I had all the windows and vents closed.. That could have caused it but not sure about the scale of droplets I had inside my rig... What say the quarum? Leave a window vented a bit???

We do a lot of winter camping and, with four of us, can generate quite a bit of condensation at times. With temps dipping into the 20's, I don't want to leave too many windows and vents cracked open. So, I usually just leave one vent cracked open a bit. Then, we wipe the window areas down in the morning.

I ALWAYS vent two vents, one slider window across from a center vent. I have a heater and now that it is a two speed--not afraid to use it. 🙂

Water will kill a camper.

My overhead vent was literally raining on me one night - I thought we had a leak. It was a cool damp night in the PNW, and with 2 people and 2 dogs in the TC, there was WAY too much condensation. I've since learned to open windows and add a blanket if need be.

Thanks for all the great responses. I'm good...

I've never had the issue in the TC, but I haven't been in very extreme conditions. I mainly camp in the NW. I'd open one of the vents a bit if I did.

We have a new to us 2000 Bigfoot 1500 when we camp it's normally three humans and a K9.
While all of the trips have been mostly moderate temps. We've found a high level of condensation.

Our solution is working to sleep a little cooler and venting if is not too windy.
I like having the over cab over vent open and the cab camper window open cold air in at the bottom and the heat rising taking with it the extra moisture,

We decided on our last trip to take our dehumidifier with us since we were staying somewhere with full hookups. With three of us in the TC and the AC running constantly, we had to empty the dehumidifier about every eight hours. Needless to say, the dehumidifier will be added to the list of 'must haves' for future trips.

Hmm...trying to figure out what word you meant instead of velocity.

[Lexicon7]

Thanks Guys, you know, I really knew that's what it was but definitely my first experience with that kind of velocity... Amazing new science experiment for me... Lol

It happens. If the outside temperatures at night are cooler than inside then humidity inside will condense.

I keep a window cracked to help vent it.

Yup ventilation is required

You have a very small space in there to keep all that water vapour so the air quickly becomes saturated, then condenses when it hits something cooler than your breath.
