condensation in BR

Yahoo Message Number: 14435
In our 2003 Intrigue we have noticed condensation problems in the corners of each night stand from top to bottom ultimately causing the top corners of each night stand to have black mold starting. When you run your fingers up and down the corners your fingers are wet.
Even in our storage space above the bed we notice dampness. This is the coldest winter we have experienced in our three winters in AZ. I must find a way to insulate and stop this from happening. Has anyone experienced this problem and if so how did you stop it?

Two slides-NO leaks

Try leaving a bedroom window open at night unless rain makes its way in.
That's helped us alot.

Also, if you have animals in your coach, dogs and cats put out twice to three times the amt of moisture in their respirations than we guys.

Hope this helps.

Stan, we had a similar problem in our 02 Affinity. We lined the closet and the cabinets above the bed with the grey carpet (like the ceiling) for better insulatation. Use of a dehumidifier helped alot also.
The last thing, you can pull the slide in at night.
Hope this helps, Candace 05 Affinity 6370

- We had condensation problems in our 2002 Allure in WA and OR in the same places you are having problems. We bought a dehumidifier at Sears and it works great. It is amazing how much moisture it pulls from the coach. The only downside is the size of the unit. There is no small unit that we could find. Macke

We also have an 03 Intrigue. We have had the same mold and mildew problems. If you were to pull the wood platform on your bed you would probably find water in the base of the bed frame under the foam. Country Coach said they had not heard of this problem. We have tried everything, uncluding a dehumidifier. When the slide is out there is nothing to insulate the underside of the bed. Also the moisture pulls in all corners of the slide because there is no insulation there. The aluminum frame pulls in the moisture.
When it got below freezing we actually had ice in the corners of the bedroom walls. Country Coach tried to tell us that our 8lb Shih Tzu was causing us to have excess humidity in our coach. The sad part was, all of our neighbors with trailers and fifth wheels that cost about $300,000 less did not have the problem we are having Anyone else had this problem and have a cure.
