Re: My experience so far as a fulltimer

The warm moist air inside your bus is circulating against the cold outside walls and condensing on them and the windows. Moisture won't pass through steel like it will wood, sheetrock etc so it makes a problem of itself. If you keep it up it will rust everything but I don't know what to do about it. Try and keep your moisture content low in your bus and that might help. Come to think about it your moisture/cubic feet of air ratio is through the roof compared to a house with lots of cubic feet of air. You have to try and keep your moisture content low (showers, cooking, breathing etc). Notice how when you go away for a day with the heat turned down you don't have a problem when you warm it back up, the colder air won't hold as much moisture. sportyrick
