A differnt kind of water

Postby Duckfenderly1 » Tue Dec 14, 2010 1:19 am

Tonight Ive seen alot about condensation/moisture on the forums. My big ?'s are do you see a big differnce in moisture from insulated vs non insulated walls? Do you see the moisture all year long? When we had our big factory trailer we never saw a problem with it. Ok last ? does anyone know where Jimmy buffets place is because its so damn cold and im ready for some sun fun and rum! Thanks Joe :R :?

The warmer you can keep the inside walls, the less condensation you will have... mine was insulated with 3/4" foam.. I still got a few drops on the wall I faced while sleeping... just from my breath.

The no. 2 has 1.5" insul and no problems .

I too have 3/4 foamboard sandwiched between 1/8 inch ply on each side. totaling 1 inch thick walls.

I have a vent free blue flame heater, its burning about 3to 4 gallons of propane a week and that puts 3to 4 gallons of water vapor in the air a week as well.

I now see that I need to get a vented heater.

their smaller unit here looks to be perfect!

the only place ice is building up is the bottom few inches of the aluminum door frame inside. I chip it off once daily.

Joe, Jimmy Buffet went all corporate on us. He's got a whole chain of Marguaritaville restaurants and food and beverage products and flip flops and who knows what else.

Just go to Florida, and look for Applebee's, Chili's, and TGI Fridays, and there's probably a Jimmy Buffet joint on the same block. :roll:

There's sail boats, and konk shells, and palm trees galore.
But Jimmy Buffett doesn't live in Key West anymore...
