YOUR MOTOR HOME
To reduce moisture released inside the RV:
1. Run the vent fan when cooking and the bath vent fan
(or open the bath vent) when bathing. Avoid making
steam from excessive boiling or use of hot water.
Remove water or snow from shoes before entering to
avoid soaking the carpet. Avoid drying clothes inside
(except in the dryer, if equipped). The water drying
out of the clothes goes into the air.
2. If you set up your RV in a semipermanent situation,
cover the ground under it with a vapor barrier
material.
3. Vent appliances to the outside. Your clothes dryer
should always be vented according to the dryer man-
ufacturer's installation instructions, if required.
(Some dryers are designed to be ventless and do not
require a vent to the outdoors.) Check the vents peri-
0dically to be sure they are not blocked.
4. Avoid placing pans of water on the stove or in heat
ducts to raise the humidity.
5. If you operate or use vaporizing inhalers, or similar
devices, always provide adequate ventilation.
6. Never use open flame gas or kerosene-burning
heaters indoors. These devices release water into the
air, and the exhaust gases contain poisonous
substances.
To increase ventilation:
1. Use the kitchen and bath exhaust fans, if equipped,
when cooking or bathing. Let them run for a while
after a bath or meal.
2. Ventilate with outside air. Partially open one or more
roof vents and/or windows to provide circulation of
outside air into the interior. While this ventilation
will increase furnace heating load, it will greatly
reduce, or eliminate, condensation. Even when it is
raining or snowing, outside air will be far drier than
interior air and will effectively reduce condensation.

CAUTION
Do not heat the RV interior
with the range or oven.
Open flames add moisture
to the interior air. Do not
use an air humidifier inside
the R\f. Water put into the
air by the humidifier will
increase condensation.
