Re: [A/S] Re: condensation



Condensate forms on surfaces that are I believe, don't quote me 10
degrees below the ambient temperature.  You see the same thing on a
cold glass of water. The inside of a trunk lid on a car in the morning
before the sun hits it.  I would think if you were running heat inside
it would be to dry for condensate to form. But by the same token if
you are sealed tight there is no place for the moisture to go.   If
it's snowing outside and your running the heat inside there is going
to be a differential between the skin of the trailer and the inside
ambient air. I am curious weather this would be a problem internally
between the two skins of the trailer.  If condensate forms inside
there you could have problems with the insulation getting wet and mold
growing on it. I would assume becuae their is very little air movement
and exchange this is probably not a problem.
 You could probably avoid this by parking it in the sun so as the
temperature rises in the morning so will the skin on the trailer.
