Keeping the Condensation In Your RV at Bay

Now that the weather is cooling off, you’ve probably turned up the heat in your RV. This can help keep you nice and toasty, but once you start to close things up, you run the risk of trapping moisture inside your RV as well. As moisture builds, you’ll start to notice condensation in your camper. Not only can condensation leave a gross feeling in the air, it can also cause water damage over time. That’s why Lakeside RV Sales has provided some helpful tips for managing condensation in your RV. Check them out and stop by our RV dealership in Anderson, South Carolina, with any additional questions you might have.

Dehumidifiers

If you notice a persistent problem, you might want to look into dehumidifiers. These pull moisture out of the air and collect it into a small container for you to empty out later. Depending on how big your camper is, you might need more than one dehumidifier to cover the entire camper. 

Power-Free Condensation Solutions

Of course, one of the easiest ways to manage condensation is to properly ventilate your RV. In the winter, you might hesitate to open a window, but if you find the humidity is getting to be too much, it’s the fastest way to expel the excess moisture. 

You can also use desiccant crystals, like the kind you find in handbags and shoes, to passively absorb water. They do pose a choking hazard to small children and animals, so keep them out of reach. 

Adjust the Temperature

Depending on the situation, you might find you need to adjust the temperature inside your RV. Turning up the temperature can sometimes balance out the humidity, while turning down the temperature might cause people inside to perspire less. It might take a little finagling, but it’s an easy way to manage condensation.

With the right plan, campers humidity is manageable. But first, you’re going to need the RV.
