Results for "mold prevention"

Between running my AC constantly or relying on fans and ventilation to stop windshield condensation in my 31-foot Class A during Naples' brutal 89% humidity. Experiencing persistent exterior windshield condensation at 5:15 AM, while side windows and rear bedroom window remain clear. Recently modified ventilation by closing all four interior AC roof vents to test temperature regulation effects.

Condensation appears as moderate moisture accumulation on windshield exterior surface, with minimal condensation on some side windows. This occurs during typical Florida morning conditions with significant temperature differential between nighttime glass surface and ambient air humidity levels.

Require systematic approach to eliminate both interior and exterior condensation formation. What are the most effective methods to prevent windshield fogging through humidity control, ventilation management, and thermal barriers? Need technical solutions that address root causes rather than temporary fixes. …more

Three months of research comparing diesel pushers versus gas Class A motorhomes for our family of 6 has left us more confused than ever!

Here's what's driving me crazy - diesel pushers from around 2010-2012 seem like the budget sweet spot, with their quieter engine placement at the rear and more comfortable ride. But we had a devastating mold problem in our last house that affected everyone's health, and I'm terrified of buying an older RV that might have hidden moisture issues.

The newer gas Class A units (2015 and up) seem like they'd be safer from a mold standpoint, but I worry we're sacrificing ride quality and long-term reliability. Since we don't already own a heavy-duty truck, a motorhome seems more practical than a 5th wheel. With four kids, comfort matters, but their health matters more.

Am I overthinking this, or should the mold risk really be the deciding factor here? I just need someone to tell me straight - which way would you go? …more

Between the excitement of buying our RV two months ago and our first Arizona rainstorm, I discovered the previous owner left every window leaking like a sieve. I discovered wet carpet around the passenger seat area that has a musty smell. The dampness is directly below our sliding window, and I can see some wallboard swelling at the bottom right corner of the window frame. What's puzzling me is that the exterior window seals look fine, and there's no visible water damage on the inside wall surface. Could this be water running down inside the window frame itself? I'm wondering if blocked window drains could cause this issue. We're on a tight budget - is this something I can tackle myself by re-caulking, or do I need professional help? I'd rather avoid dealer costs if possible. …more
