That's good intel.  Here at our park we have covered spots so I took advantage.  Hopefully it will help with some weather prevention.

In the winter time I run a dehumidifier periodically.  When the outside temps get cold enough, condensation will form in the RV.  You will see it especially around the windows and can sometimes feel it on the walls.  I do use DampRid when I am not running the dehumidifier.  

Best regards,

You can lower humidity problems by alway opening a vent a little when cooking or using the shower. Condensation can be a problem in cold weather. It is much worse if you don’t open a vent.  Windows will collect a lot of moisture if not dual pane.

Thankfully I have dual Payne windows.  I am leaving 2 vents open during the day to help battle condensation.  I may buy a dehumidifier and see if it collects any water.

Go to low humidity area for the winter, ie desert, no condensation!

So far I’ll be permanent at my location which is in McKinney TX.  North suburb of DFW.  I found a new RV park just 20 miles from my office, Good Shepherd RV Park.  Not to say my employer could want me to move, if I wanted.  I do like the fact I’m no longer tied down owning a home.  So I’m certainly open to travel as time goes on.

Wow!  You found a good park for you and so close to work.  I just Googled it and it states a site with a cover is $550/m.  What a deal!!  Hope you solve the issue.  I think a dehumidifier will help along w/vent openings.

Excellent reminder Kurt.  We use the range vent every time we are using the stove, oven, or slow cooker.  We also will open the window in the kitchen area.  Fresh air is good.
