Condensation on Trailer Windows

[JayPeeWhy]

Hi Guys

We are getting some condensation inside out trailer windows. Seems to happen only at night, it's there when we get up in the morning. Walls all seem ok, just the windows and the window sills ..... predominantly at the bottom, hazing on the window but droplets on the sills. It is on the inside only, not between panes.

I have read another thread about condensation inside the trailer. Someone mentioned double pane windows help with the problem, but we have an Outdoor RV Creekside with Mountain Extreme Package that 'dual pane thermal windows' , we are still getting condensation though.

A few facts.  Trailer is 29'. 2 adults, 2 cats. We are primarily using an oil filled radiator to heat and it's pretty toasty inside. We don't seem to have any issues at night when cooking (temp outside is not that cold in evening, just drops at night). We don't shower in the RV. We currently do not have skylights or windows open at night.

I guess my questions are threefold:

[list type=decimal]
[*]What can we do to reduce creation of condensation
[*]What can we do to remove this nighttime condensation if it is inevitable
[*]Should we be getting condensation on the windows if they are dual pane?
[/list]

Thanks in advance.

You need to leave some way for moisture to escape.  You breathing creates a surprising amount of moisture, and in an enclosed space it'll cause condensation on cold windows.  Dual pane windows just provide more insulation, they will still be colder than the air in your trailer thus allowing moisture in the air to condense.

Try leaving a vent/window open slightly...very slightly should be enough.

Just crack 1 of your roof vents a hair 24/7 should take care of it.

And don't keep it so toasty inside at night. Use comforters on the bed. A greater temp difference between inside and out leads to more condensation. And just so you know, there should be small drain vents at the bottom of each window frame that are there to drain condensation. They should be checked occasionally to make sure they are not plugged with gunk.

Each adult will exhale 1 quart of water daily.  A vent opened up will help with air exchange and hopefully reduce the amount of water
in the air.
