Just purchased a Jayco 23B. My first hybrid. How do you prepare / and / or manage condensation within the tent areas?

If it's warm enough, open the zipper flaps a bit. Or, less effectively, crack one of your actual windows. You can also get a dehumidifier - but that means a hit on the battery if you're not plugged in or if you don't have a generator...
I'm "frugal" (cheap according to my wife), and mechanically inclined (can break anything and usually fix it)

I keep the top portion of the window unzipped, and also use the bunk end fans. Works great for the weather up here in New England.
The other way is to get the PopUpGizmo or some other form of covering that acts as in insulator on the outside of the tent fabric.

Basically lots of ventilation is the key to managing condensation.

this is a common question in the Hybrid forum.
the quickest way to get answers and info, is to use the Search feature at the top.
type in "condensation" and search in the Hybrid forum.
i just did and got 56 pages of info and posts about it, with about 35 posts per page.
all you'd want to know about condensation and hybrids is already there.
bottom line: air movement/ventilation & Popup Gizmos/solar blankets.

We started leaving the fantastic fan in the bathroom on at night. Door left closed to keep noise down but there is enough of a gap on the top and bottom of the door to keep good circulation.
