@@BrianMills-bl2ky The moisture has nothing to do with the fuel type of your furnace (unless you are using a catalytic heater that is not vented to the outside). The issue is you are putting a lot of moisture into a small quantity of air (from breathing, cooking, bathing, etc.). When this warm moist air hits a cold single pane window, moisture in the air will condense on the glass. Contrary to what this guy says toward the end of his video, you will get just as much condensation. If you really want to tackle the problem, you have to connect the "cold air return " of your propane furnace or your diesel heater to the outside. Even though the relative humidity of outside air may be higher than that of the indoor air, the absolute moisture content of the colder outside air is lower. Personally, when I go hunting in temperatures that range from the 20s at night to the 40s during the day, I can virtually eliminate all of the condensation in my trailer by leaving the roof vent slightly open. Yes I burn almost 120 pounds of propane keeping the trailer in the low 70s for 9 days while showering and washing dishes daily, but the experience is worth it.
The cdh are ok but if you spill any fuel into a modern rv/trailer it will eat the foam core in your floor and or walls. Being a chemical reaction it will pretty much keep degrading any foam that soaks up diesel.
You really should do something about that pump. You say it won’t bother you but you will end up bother others. Isolate it from the body of the motor home. It’s acting as an loudspeaker as it is now. All the motion inside it is transferred directly to the chassis of your motor home. If you get rubber mounting like engine mount of a car (that type of style) you will quiet it down a lot. Even a rubber mat between it and the mobile home will help. It does not get warm.
Great information, thanks for doing this video 😊
Glad it was helpful!
My propane heater in my RV uses tons of fuel. Plus the windows are covered with moisture. Definitely going to follow your advice.
Seems to be a common problem, you would think the RV manufacturers could have come up with something better by now like maybe a diesel heater.

Thanks for the head up.

@@pederb82 Yes, next summer’s project list. 😊 I have seen lots of info on silencing the pump. Thanks 🙏🏽 for your comment.
If you can add mineral wool insulation between the pump and the inside, that will greatly help reduce the noise transfer.
@@davidgates1122 yes. That work brilliantly as well
That pump is far too noisey.
Yes, it’s on my project list to dampen down the noise.
