Re: [a/s] Mildew??



I'd like to just comment on moisture in A/Ss. 
I have a teacher/18-wheeler friend who lives F/T in a 5th wheel...and drives 
his tractor/trailer long-haul x-country.  He leaves 2 small electric heaters 
going F/T during his absense in his 5th wheel (home), and he taught me to 
always have a roof-vent open a little bit at one end of the trailer, and a 
window cracked open (a little lower) at the other end of the trailer, to 
create a 'pull' of air, while the heater/furnace is running.  He said this is 
to keep the air flowing and exhausting...and to keep moisture 
out...."especially b/c the Airstream is so tight". 
This makes such good sense...and I do it all the time, and have the driest 
and nicest smelling trailer I've ever been in.
That's the name of that tune...........................cat
