Great video on condensation control. For sure, use a dehumidifier, circulate air and vent during cooking and showers as indicated. Using a space heater can reduce the issue since your furnace can cause some condensation as well. Just being in your RV and breathing can cause some condensation, just like your truck cab. Thank you NRVTA! Anyway, GREAT tips and you all take care. Dave.
This is the first I have seen the bed mat. Interesting gadget. With our Apex that's only 18'7" inside we have had good luck leaving the main roof vent slightly open. Also, open and run the bathroom fan when having a shower. It makes a world of difference.
Another way to reduce condensation under the RV bed is to add a layer of insulation. This keeps the temperature differential away from bedding, as most RVs have part of the bed a piece of plywood from the cold pass thru. I use the Fatigue Matt's from Harbor Freight! They are inexpensive, lock together and are a dense foam. WNYBob
I’m glad I saw this video because I think we’ve been doing something that’s not necessary. We live in Maryland so it doesn’t get super cold here. When we put our fifth wheel in storage, we put a large bucket of Damp Rid in it. It seems you only need to worry about condensation if you are using your rig. What do you think?
It's a good idea to keep damp rid in your RV even in storage. You will have outside humidity that can come in. It's true that there is a lot more during use. But you are on the right track for storage.
Great tips, thank you for having us on your Todd Tech Tip Tuesday. Miss you all.

That's a great tip. Thanks for sharing.
The den dry is installed upside down. I just got one. The instructions say, install with the felt side up.
He only spent 2 minutes on this tech tip Tuesday!
They have fixed it. They said that having it installed upside down was still effective.
Tuesday Todd Tips, Yay!
A great low tech item is "the absorber" to at least wipe the widows. It's a space age towel that acts like a giant sponge.

How do you get rid of condensation when boom docking?
Anybody else have thought on this Vevor heater? I wonder how much fuel it goes though a night.🤔
