condensation

I noticed the other night in the RV there was condensation on the windows of the RV. I didn't think that would happen unless we were living in it with the heat on but I guess it does (am remodeling though) with being real cold/snowy and rainy. The issue seems to be the windows are thin and only...

Hello, I am currently in the process of converting a 40’ 14 window Thomas Saf-t-liner. I am trying to determine the best vapor barrier for my ceiling. I am deciding between Rockwool, EPS, or spray foam. I know with spray foam you don't need a vapor barrier. I feel that if I go with ESP or...

I have a 2007 Thomas C2 5 window and I’m 6’5” so I have 1” total of clearance to the metal ceiling ribs standing barefoot on the bare metal floor. I want to maintain standing height at all costs. The entire bus is sprayed with closed cell foam level with the ribs and underneath the floor for...

Hey everybody! I'm living in my skoolie, but have conceded that I will probably never truly be done with my conversion. My most pressing issue, which is pretty minor all things considered, is that I'm getting a lot of condensation on the ribs of my ceiling. I have a heater set to 65 to save...

Hello, Before you tell me not to use fiberglass please read this. My buddy works for John manville and they make this ducting that has a foil backer. They use it for duct work in commercial applications and it is supposed to have good thermal qualities. Here’s the site for the product. It’s...

We've noticed condensation under the mattress on cold nights on our ATC bobcat due to temp differential of two people sleeping on the over cab section. We're thinking of bring 2x4 boards to insert for the morning to dry it out. Any other suggestions?

I've got a 14" roof raise, and I'm struggling with condensation collecting on the transitions and running down and dripping on the floor. I've insulated with XPS foam board (as with the rest of the bus) and I'm getting water dripping around it. I tried sealing the edges of the foam board with...

Hello, I have the summit edition with the glacier package and when it gets to the single digits for temp, i get alot of condensation on the walls near the floor that then accumulate and create small puddles on the floor but only in the bedroom. There are no leaks because in warmer weather...

Hi all, My wife and I just bought a 40ft 2015 Bluebird that was built for service at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. It was designed to operate in-60f to -70f. It has less that 14,000 miles on it, but over 10,000 idle hours. Unfortunately its adef system, but I fugure we’re all gonna have to learn to...

What up yall, hope everyones enjoying thier Dream. Im new and about to get started on a conversion. Insulation and condensation are so far my 2 biggest concerns. I plan to strip the inside completely. I am debating between using Wool Batting or polyiso board with cedar plank as siding/ceiling...

Hey all, curious what you know about metal studs and condensation? I had originally planned to just screw through a layer of insulation directly into the metal ribs in my box truck, but members in another group made the point that this would cause condensation and water damage over a few years...

We are finally at the subfloor stage and are facing some confusion... We have filled all of the holes and primed to avoid rust. We were just about to lay out the studs for the subfloor and then fill in those areas with our foam board insulation. On top of which we will but laying the actual...

Hey! I just moved to the Pacific Northwest and I didn't realize the problem condensation and mold would cause in the skoolie. I thought that the walls were completed. My bf and I didn't have time to treat the wood furring we installed except a few pieces with polyurethane. Originally my bf and I...

What are your thoughts on putting the original ceiling back up? We have finished disassembling the inside of the bus and are now are getting ready for the build. We have been intending to re-install the original ceiling but I am beginning to have second thoughts. We want to sacrifice as little...

Hello everyone! This is my first post here and I am new to RVing... we bought our 2020 16RK last November and now find ourselves living in it in the Kootenay region of BC, Canada (Rocky Mountains).

Hi all - new here. Just bought a bus that is already mostly converted by the previous owner, excited to adventure during the winter 2 days to 2 weeks at a time. I live in a coastal/ temperate climate in Vancouver. The bus is currently not insulated nor does it have a ceiling vent, like a...

I own a 2014 3895. Over the years the rain and condensation doesn't flow and run out like it used to and will build up in the gutters and run onto my slides, awning, or just down the side of the camper. Has anyone else had trouble with this? Can I fix it myself or do I need to take it in...

Hi all! We have had some really rainy and cold days. I have just discovered water on the closet floor in the back corner by the door where you enter 2008 -189 FBR. I'm not sure if it's condensation which has been particularly heavy, or if it is leaking somewhere that I can't see. I...

Condensation is a normal part of heating and living in cold environments. Does anyone have suggestions or aware of a drain on the new front auto windshield at the front of the rig? Water currently pooling. Thanks

We have a 2019 Thor Aria and we are using it quite a bit this fall/winter. I've noticed significant water condensation inside: Front window area, all windows, bathroom fan cover above. I've put several Damprid units around but am wondering if there is a better solution? It seems to be caused...

Hello everyone! We’re taking our maiden voyage to Cooperstown, NY as newbie RVer’s. We’re so excited but already off to a late start because we noticed water leaking from under the trailer. We had prepped the black tank and started the refrigerator a couple days ago, so we were concerned...

Hello, We just purchased our first TT last Saturday. I noticed today that there is a lot of condensation in the left tail light of our new 26bh. The right has none. Is this something that should be of concern and is there anything I can do to remedy the issue? The dealership is 500km away so a...

Hi, folks. Our Sunseeker has condensation in the bin closest to the LP tank. It's the only bin with this problem, so I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the LP tank's proximity? It's also kind of kittycorner below the water heater, but it's one of those solid bins and I can't see...

I have a Window AC that is working great, but have to work on condensate draining properly. Here are two questions: 1. If I replace the AC with something similar do I need to just try to match up dimensions for the fit or are there other considerations? 2. The outside vent cover for the AC units...
