I'm seeing alot of questions about moisture issues in trailers, I'm wondering about Spring camping? Will the warm temperature during the day and cooler temperature at night cause moisture? Or with the heat running thru the night help keep it to a minimum? This is going to be my 1st full year camping and I would like to start early this year.

It can happen with the TT being warm inside and outside temps being cold at night.We mostly had it in our closets on each side of the bed. Some folks leave a vent open and others use things such as DampRid to help. Maybe a dehumidifier also. I am sure you will get many good ideas soon here.

We have never really had any issues. I do turn on the roof exhaust fan after using the shower to dry up the moisture that collects in the TT during. We have 'cracked' the window if we see moisture (which has been very few times).

Happy camping.

we never had any troubles , we crack the bathroom vent open and when the furance is on at night it takes most of the moisture out of the air

We have a Maxx vent cover in the bathroom and leave it open 24/7/365 (trailer is under cover in the winter). That plus leaving a window or two cracked open seems to be a big help in reducing the moisture on cool nights.

Here in the NW we deal with high humidity for much of the year. Condensation has a regular presence in varying amounts. Ventialtion is the key. Must "exhaust" the TT. Be aware what casues moisture to be released (cooking, showering, etc.) and be agressive with fans when doing these things.
