    For the 320, crack the front window and maybe the fan vent.  Just be aware that any draft across the Alde display will cause it to run much more frequently leading to a too hot cabin.

    Open a window to the locked/open position (it gives you about 1/4” of window opening) and open the roof vent about 1/4”. This provides sufficient circulation of air to control the condensation from the occupants’ breathing. I’ve never had condensation using this method.

    I also have a shower stall size rod above the toilet, for wet jackets and wet boots go on the shower floor. I took off the glass shower door and replaced it with a tension rod and shower curtain, that gives me another place to hang damp items. I use the jell powder in the toilet with trash bag liners to use the loo without running water.

    The Jensen tv generates heat and affect the Alde thermostat's temperature. The Alde thermostat says 73-79°F but a thermometer I have by the sink says between 63-68°F(depending the time of the day with sun or not). A tricky situation.

    I think we found that cracking the vent and cracking a window pretty much prevented the condensation, even at 5 below.
    The walls were definitely not warm, however!

    I found them at Target I think in the pharmacy area. Two kinds https://amzn.to/36aWycm and https://amzn.to/2sVUXZH but you can also use clumping kitty litter! Much cheaper. Works with a 5 gallon bucket with toilet seat on it too. (Luggable Loo.)
