How do you deal with condensation?

How does everyone deal with condensation.? We have a new Hummingbird Rb. It only has one roof vent and no fan.( My dealer told me it can't be installed after market due to the spray in insulation.) My husband wants a dehumidifier, but without shore power that will be a problem. It's not just the windows, but the walls and inside the cupboards. I've heard about cracking windows and roof vents. Any other ideas? Thanks

Anything can be installed if you throw enough money at it... I'd find a RV repair shop if you can't get the dealer to install a vent fan and aren't capable of doing it yourself.

The wiring can be surface mounted if necessary and hidden under a piece of trim.

The key to reducing condensation is getting the air moving.

If you haven't done so yet install a Maxx-Air Vent cover so you can leave the roof vent open all the time. This was one of the first modifications we made to our trailer. The only time the vent gets closed is when the A/C is running.
