Pod has been outside unchecked for awhile.. I checked it the other day and the sheets were wet around the walls. My first thought was a leak but it was pretty evenly wet where the bed touches the back and door side wall. Almost like it is soaking in condensation?? Kinda weird as I didn’t notice it last year.. now I will be dealing with the mold and wet bed today.
Any tips apprieciated!

Just get it ventilated. Remove and dry what you can. Any time you have warm-moist air in an enclosed space & then cool it, you will get condensation coming out of the air (warm air holds more moisture than cold air). If there is still moisture on the walls, you can wipe them down with towel(s).

We always. Yes, always, kept the FF in the bathroom cracked about a 1/4 inch. Years with 60+ inches of rain, not an issue. You need just a bit of ventilation, always.

I use an electric dehumidifier. A necessity on the the Gulf Coast.

Been staying in the rpod (179) for about a week this winter and I think it comes from the back windows. They get pretty wet and it drips down onto the bed. We put towels in the curtains to hopefully soak it up.

Ah. That too. Just the moisture from your exhaled breath will add to the humidity inside the pod. Running the FF will get a lot of that out, but you may also have to run a dehumidifier.
