    Someone else said that propane releases humility in the air so better to not use the propane furnace. Now I'm debating because of the mention of the vent. 🤔 unless it's still does either way but maybe less. 🤷‍♀️ *edit seems it does produce a bit of humidity.
    I'm supposed to be gone in the south and having to buy all those things and the thing for the bed for two months seems insane for me right now. But I can DIY something though just like I did for the skirt. 😄
    My sons room is insane, the water I've been wiping off the windows, walls and floors..not good

      @@nancytigressvlogs yes, propane will cause moisture, but a dehumidifier will counteract that along with our other tips (if needed). We’ve been in south Florida for 2 years and do quite well with our dehumidifier the humidity. We run the AC more than the heater out here which also helps remove moisture on warmer days.

      @DestinatioNow In Florida I didn't need any of this.. it's the cold from Canada that's making it extremely difficult. 😫

      It does help to crack a vent when the heater is on. This allows the moisture to escape. Our propane heater vents the exhaust outside which cuts down on humidity quite a bit.

      @ Yes I imagine it would be very difficult to live in a RV there in the winter. I bet even a 4 seasons camper struggles through that kind of cold.

    Great video!
    I run a dehumidifier in my Alaskan throughout the wet PNW winters. It’s had the side effect of keeping the internal temp of the camper elevated in comparison to the exterior. This prevents the interior space from falling below freezing which keeps my tank and pipes from freezing.

      Awesome! That's a great method 🙂

    I have heard most of what you said. Many people swear by small dehumidifiers.

      Our small dehumidifier works great!

    By coincidence - it rained outside the RV while this video was being made.👍

      Lol, yup 😊 It's been raining here for a week 🌧

    Damprid does not work for me and I usually can't run a dehumidifier because it's usually cloudy in the winter which doesn't bring in enough solar for it.

      Cracking your windows and turning the fan on can do a lot as well.

    What about under the folding couch?? Always has moisture

    • @DestinatioNow

      We don't have a folding couch, so I'm not sure if there is space underneath it. It might be good to add a thin layer to lift it so it can get airflow. We are constantly moving our dinette cushions to access the storage underneath and have never development mold or moisture underneath. We've had too much moisture under our mattress in the past and the froli sleep system solved that problem for us. The froli might also work for a folding couch if you have a big problem there, but as I said before I'm not really sure what a folding couch consists of in an rv so this may or may not be the answer you are looking for.

    I don’t think you mention reflective… insulating your windows I heard helps… I just made reflective window covers last week in preparation for some cold weather camping next week…

      Go idea, that really helps with heat retention too!
