• Reduce moisture released inside the motor
home.
Run the range vent fan when cooking and
the bath vent fan (or open the bath vent)
when bathing to carry water vapor out of
the motor home. Avoid making steam from
excessive boiling or use of hot water. Re-
move water or snow from shoes before en-
tering to avoid soaking the carpet. Avoid
drying overcoats or other clothes inside the
motor home. WARNING: DO NOT HEAT
THE MOTOR HOME INTERIOR WITH THE
RANGE OR OVEN. In addition to the hazards
of toxic fumes and oxygen depletion which
make heating by the range or oven very
dangerous, open flames add moisture to the
interior air, increasing condensation. Do not
use an air humidifier inside the motor home.
Water put into the air by the humidifier will
increase condensation.

• Ventilate closets and cabinets.
During prolonged use in very cold weather,
leave cabinet and closet doors partially open
to warm and ventilate the interiors of stor-
age compartments built against exterior
walls. The air flow will warm the exterior
wall surface, reducing or eliminating con-
densation and preventing possible ice for-
mation.
• Install a dehumidifier appliance.
During prolonged, continuous use, a de-
humidifying appliance may be more com-
fortable and effective in removing excess
moisture from the interior air. While use of
a dehumidifier is not a "cure-all", and venti-
lation, storm windows, and moisture reduc-
tion continue to be important, operation of
the dehumidifier will reduce the amount of
outside air needed for ventilation. Heating
load on the furnace will be reduced, and the
interior will be less drafty.
