First trip in the X19H...condensation issues
Camped Friday & Saturday night in the new camper.Friday night was warm, but not hot. We had the AC fan running, but not the AC. Saturday it rained most of the day. Cleared up around 4:30, then started to rain again about 9:30. Rained til about 11:00 then stopped for the night. Camper was closed up all night except for the roof vent in the bathroom. It was open (have the MaxxAir cover on it). It was kind of chilly Saturday night, but we never turned the heater on. It was 3 of us plus the dog. One side note, the little woman did boil some water on the stove Saturday evening. We never ran the hood exhaust, nor did we run the vent fan in the bathroom.
Packing up this morning there was water droplets under the mattress on both bunk ends. Where the water was at would have been next to impossible to be a leak without dripping on us or getting the tops of the mattress wet.
I have done some reading this morning and this seems to be a common problem. Will most likely try running the bath fan and maybe the exhaust in the range hood next time. I have seen pop up gizmos suggested and also reflectix in the windows. I don't want to do the reflectix in the windows. I like to have the windows unzipped a little when ever we can. May try the gizmos. Have read about mixed results placing something under the mattress. Most all have said the common denominator is the fabric mattress on both sides, which mine is. People with vinyl bottoms on the mattress doesn't seem to have the problem.
Sorry to be so long winded, but any other suggestions other than what I have mentioned?
