Moisture

   Hi Everyone,Just returned from our maiden voyage in our new RPod 180.  Went to Van Buren State Park outside of South Haven..5 days.  It became cold, so we ran our little plug in heater, like we did in the Casita.  Extreme moisture on the windows bothered me a lot.  Especially after we took showers.  Water was dripping on our mattress and running down the wall.  Too cold out to run the fantastic fan.  And no fan in the bathroom.
Any ideas of how to ventilate the moisture out of the trailer, without freezing us out ?  Why is there no fan in the bathroom?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Joe, Karen and Bessie

	The fantastic fan in my 179 is in the bathroom. To control moisture I leave our electric heater running, slightly open one window and set the fantastic fan to a low speed. I learned this on this forum & it works like a champ!!

	The pods are small spaces, ventilation is key. open the fantastic fan cover an inch, and a window a crack, that will provide enough air exchange to keep the condensation at bay, without "freezing you out". We have been down in the teens in our pod with two humans and 2 +70 pound dogs,were fine with just a little 1000watt ceramic heater.

	Furpod is 100% correct. We have done a lot of cold weather camping and the only way to survive w/o getting a shower from all the moisture is to ventilate. Beside the fantastic fan running on low we usually crack open one window in front and another in the back on the opposite side. The furnace runs a bit more but it is worth it to have dry walls and windows.
