Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
We are up in southern Oregon, and with the frequent rain I've noticed condensation around the windows. This morning I found spots of mold. I cleaned with 409, dried, and since it is sunny and dryish today I've got all the windows open in a hopefully not vain attempt to dry things out a bit.
Keep a window slightly open at all times and a roof vent.The key is air circulation.We also plan to buy a dehumidifier to help.When cooking turn on your stove vent if it is vented outside otherwise run your roof top fan.Keep furniture from touching outside walls and check frequently for moisture.

We have a MH and if we're in very humid weather, (especially if it gets cold outside), we'll open a window in the bedroom slightly, open a window in the front of the MH slightly and then open the kitchen vent, manually, just enough to lift the cover off of the seal but not enough to start the fan.
Also if taking showers or cooking, use those vent fans to pull the excess moisture out of the RV. You'll lose some heat, but to us, it worth not having to deal with the mold.

Hey Racerguy... Have you figured out which dehumidifier to get? Do you have figure out the cubic feet of your RV and try to figure the amount of moisture in the air?.. just wondering.. Is it a stand alone or is it added to the furnace somehow?
