Extreme condensation on slide walls

Yahoo Message Number: 7575
We have been in WA near the coast for over a month now and have been seeing a lot of water on the bedroom slide wall corners. The wallcovering strips are now getting black mildew on them. The walls in the upper cabinets are also really wet. There is so much water on the walls that we are wondering if the slides are leaking in all the rain or if it IS condensation. The weather has been cold and rainy most of the time in the 30's to upper 40's. We do not keep the heat on a lot as we enjoy the coolness. Since we have lived in AZ for many years we are not accustomed to the high humidity.
Question: Anyone have similar problems with lots of moisture in the coach in the NW? What should we do to keep this condensation lower and stop the damaging effects. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Macke 2002 Allure 40'w/tag dbl.slide

Keep the coach vented all the time, We keep our bathroom vent open all the time and use the fan whenever cooking or showering. We installed a vent cover over the bathroom vent and we leave the vent open 24 hours a day. Never had any condensation in the coach. You can also take your wife out to dinner often, that keeps the cooking condensation down.

We have the same problem. Somewhat mitigated with two containers of "Dry-Z-Air," a product you can buy at Camping World. If it gets too bad we turn on the heat and crack some windows, with the curtains open, driving out the heat. When all else fails, we head for Arizona to dry out!
