Moisture in your RV ?
Your RV’s worst enemy is moisture. The good news as there is things to do to prevent moisture, mold and mildew from occurring in your unit while you have it winterized. Once a week open the windows and doors, let your unit breathe throughout. Open the cupboards, closets and the fridge , don’t let the air become stagnant. You can use moisture – preventing beads, just put them on your table and they will absorb all the moisture in the air.
Contrary to popular belief, putting a tarp over the roof of your unit is the worst thing you can do. It only traps moisture against the surface of the roof, which can cause rot. A covered dry area is ideal to store your RV under.
Here are a few other tips to prevent moisture:
MAXXAIR COVER:
A MAXXAIR COVER fits over a regular size vent cover and allows ventilation during the winter months without the worry of rain getting in. These covers are easy for the “Do - it -yourselfer “ and no extra holes are required in the roof. If you have a power fan then there is a proper Maxxair cover to fit this to allow maximum operation of your fan.
DRY AIR CRYSTALS:
Dry Air Crystals are an inexpensive way to remove moisture from the air inside the RV during winter months. The container has a strainer dish on the top and a container on the bottom to collect the moisture. The crystals sit in the dish in a crystal form and they draw moisture out of the air and drip into a liquid form. You will need to check these crystals about every month to see if they need to be refilled. You will need one container for every 12 ‘of unit approximately.
STOR DRY:
Stor dry is an 110V container that removes moisture from your RV. It takes the cool damp air in through the bottom and blows the warm dry air out through the top. This system does not need to be checked every month but does require 110v power.
