Condensation interior issues - elimination suggestions?

[bumpkinsnana]

My husband and I are living in our Class C full time in the Northwest. During the summer, the condensation issue was not a problem. Now that it is getting colder, we are experiencing more condensation in the interior - mostly on the windows. We do leave a couple of windows cracked all the time, do not shower, and leave use the fan when cooking. Does anyone have a suggestion or product they could recommend. So far there has been no mold or mildew, and I would like to keep it that way. Our motorhome is 32'. Thanks for your suggestions.

Sounds like your RV has Single Paine Windows.

One of our other Fifth Wheel Trailers had the very same issues... Summer it would cause condensation on the outside of the glass... because of the Temperature difference of the A/C Running.

Winter time... The window would be covered with Condensation on the inside... running down and collecting in the frame of the window.

My Suggestion would be to use an insulation film that can be applied to the inside of the window. This film is attached to the frame by double sided tape...then using a hair blow dryer... the film tightens with heat applied. this will create a dead air space between the film and the glass of the window.

They sell this product often in home builder centers... Lowe's.. Home Depot.. to name a couple.

A more expensive solution may be a dehumidifier inside the RV. I have read where those living in humid areas have found using a dehumidifer helps solve their problems...

I'd do the weatherization of the windows with the film first.

Good Luck !

You can also but the little humidity cups that help to take the humidity out of the air. You can buy them at most walmarts and hardware stores.

This is a problem with most RV's. utmtman, I never heard of these "humidity cups", where do you place them, on the window?

The cup you are talking about is called; DampRid, and it works well.

I never heard of them, what do they do, stick on the glass?

[utmtman]

No you can buy them in walmart and you put them in the closets or on counters and such. I keep one in the bathroom on the sink counter and one in the kitchen on the sink counter. When they fill with water or after a three or four months I get rid of them and buy new ones.

They will soak up all the moisture that drips from the windows?? Doesn't make sense but I will definately have to try these.
