    :D:rolleyes: me :);):D my wife

    I used to have a class c when my wife and i would head out for a long trip i would always drive 55 to 58 mph inturn i could usually get 10.5 to 11 mpg and she would always say your driving like a GRANDPA LOL!!!!!!!!!!! So on one trip from a place we often travel to i went roughly 70 to 75 mph and only got 6.5 mpg . It just takes much more fuel to push a box through the wind and i am in no hurry to get where i am going so in my new class a ijust put it on cruise at 58 and say woman be quiet LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding about that :P:lol: : The best way is to just slow down and enjoy the ride and scenery

    Mike,

    Dehumidifiers work better than the chemical driers which are effective only in small spaces such as cabinets or small closet spaces. I used a chemical desiccant in the cabinet over our bed when I had a leak in a slide out. It kept the moisture at a low level in that space until I could get repairs done. As my article points out, the key to controlling moisture in your motor home is ventilation. Allow the moist air to escape by ventilating, with a fan if necessary. A fan is certainly necessary when cooking or showering but may also be necessary when you have large numbers of people in the motor home. This is especially true if they have damp clothing or are breathing heavily. :rolleyes: Bring in outside air which will be lower in moisture content and, if necessary, warm it to stay comfortable. This is the most effective way to deal with moisture. If you really don't want to open windows and use a vent fan, then use a dehumidifier.

    Thanks for the input i will try that next time we use our coach

    Mike, I've never had problems with moisture on my windows either camping or storing. I've attached MaxxAir Roof Vent Covers to both my bathroom vent and kitchen vents. I usually keep both vents open regardless of the weather and haven't seen any moisture what so ever. Not only that, but the MH is always fresh smelling, never stall or shut in smell. :rolleyes:

    I also have roof covers and leave the vents open ... I only get the moisture at night when all four of us sleep at night If it is just my wife and i we dont really have a problem. In my manual that came with my coach it says its sealed very tightly and unlike in a home where moisture goes up through the celing that a motorhome is a small compact space and moisture doesnt escape easily i also use a dry air product with desecant beads which helps catch a lot of water.

    I would like to know if anyone has or is currently using a dehumidifier in their coach to help with moisture while camping or storing their coaches.

    I would like to get rid of the buildup of moisture on the windows that accumilates at night.

    Thanks.

    I bought a 2008 Damon daybreak in august 08 and also had a few minor problems which were taken care of by the dealer .. My service guy informed me i have been very lucky compared to some and this is my second Damon i have owned.. My last was a great coach with minor problems....... Also he told me it is a EARTQUAKE on wheels and there are bound to be a problem now and then ....... We love our coach and use it frequently although we are not full timers by any means but usally go twice a month to get away from it all...........
