Re: [A/S] Odd Curtain Staining
I too am in Tampa and the heat and humidity were getting the inside
of my 1972 27' Overlander quite moist. Since I keep the trailer
plugged in, I leave a dehumidifier inside that I bought at a garage
sale for $5. Great deal. They are $180 new. That solved
any "sweating" inside the hot trailer. I ran the hose out just behind
the refrigerator through the floor. Works great. It pulls over a
gallon of water out of the air every day here in Tampa. You can also
re-use the water if you ever need it.
I did find one strange brown streak running down my newly painted
walls, and it was coming from a place where there could not have been
a leak. After checking everything out, I remembered that I saw a
green tree frog loose in the trailer (mine is still under heavy
renovation but is sealed somewhat tight). Well, tree frogs which are
comprised of about 90% water (not a scientific fact) release liquids.
A nice way of saying the obvious. LOL Insects such as Palmetto bugs
and large roaches also leave an amazing amount of brownish yellow
stains on things. It's disgusting but I know that it happens.
Hope that helped! Insects and creatures are something to check out.
At least in my case. :)
