condensation

Originally posted by papa2 Ceramic heaters certainly help.  I have to admit that the few times I've used them I was less than impressed, but then again, I admit I only let one run for an hour or so before turning it off.   NO, leaving the vent open does not mean the furnace will run continously.   But that being said I can't imagine running it at 74 degrees either.  You can tell I'm from a cold weather state as I run mine at about 68 degrees daytime, colder at night (thought that's what warm blankets/comforters/quilts were for).  Actually, having ventilation will help the furnace to run more efficiently.

My husband's from the south so he's a heat lover, day and night.  He likes it warmer than I do. As for myself, I don't need much heat at night but do like to be comfortable during the day. 

I'm new to the forum, but have been watching and reading it for a couple of months now. My wife and I bought a used 2008 19' Zinger in August. We have owned S-10 Blazers for years so we had to buy a truck as well (2003 Chevy 1500HD Crew Cab). We have the same problem with the condensation with our camper as mentioned on this post. We have even went and bought the MaxxAir vent covers as well. We haven't been camping since we got the vent covers, but we are hoping they will help. It is true what was mentioned earlier about the condensation being terrible with these campers, or we are doing something wrong. We have bought a couple of the pellet de-humidifers, to try to help with the moisture, hasn't helped much. We camp in Pigeon Forge, Tn. and we have camped in hot and cold weather up there, still the same problem. We will try the open vents in the spring and see if it helps any. We thought we wanted a small camper since it is just the two of us, but I've already realized that we are going to have to upgrade to a larger one in a couple of years. But over all, I believe the Zinger is a well built camper, but I have put some of the modifications that are mentioned on this forum to use already. Chad and Kristi McKeehan, Athens, Tenn.

Hi cwit

Lakecity is up near route 10 north of ocala about 90 miles. We left Ocala this year and went north to try and get rid of the rain.
