TAB400 - Coldweather Condensation

mrsimon1181

How does everyone prevent condensation build up while staying inside the camper on a cold night? Which/how many windows or vents do you keep cracked? We've never had issue because we've always ran the AC but right now it's far too cold to do that.

Thanks!

Crack the overhead fan and the front window.  We found that cracking the driver side window cooled the thermostat in the Alde display and it made the Alde run.  Too warm!

What @Sharon_is_SAM said!

Well, that’s what we do with a 320 CSS.  What about the 400s out there?

Thanks for the quick feedback! We'll give it a try tonight and report back.

Crack the kitchen window instead of the front window on the T@B 400 so the cold air won’t affect the Alde touch screen/thermostat. I also leave the bathroom vent open all the time, in addition to cracking the Fantastic Fan gent. 

I’ve camped down to 19* this past winter in my T@B 400 with no condensation.

Here where the nights are mostly low 30's to high 20's I've had good luck with the roof vent open about 1" and the Bathroom vent open

I have had no real condensation issues this winter, and I just open the roof vent slightly.

Condensation isn't unique to NuCamp RV's of a particular model, all RV's need to have ventilation, usually a window or vent or both open will be the solution. Of course in warmer weather with AC running, the AC removes humidity. While counterintuitive to vent in colder weather with heat on, it is still necessary.

Only issue with the front window / roof vent cracked was that the air was a little chilly.. But we had no condensation issues at all. We'll have to try the kitchen window next time for science!
