Use of combustion equipment
The unvented combustion of appliances, such as a propane stove, are a source of moisture in an RV. For every gallon of fuel consumed, about one gallon of water vapour is evaporated into the air.
Whenever possible, you need to run an exhaust fan in
combination with the use of any unvented combustion
appliances in the travel trailer.
Water vapour and combustion by-products must be vented out
of the trailer. The owner of a RV must follow the
instructions for use and maintenance for safe operation of
any combustion appliances.
In addition to the dangers of toxic smoke and oxygen
depletion which make the use of an oven very dangerous, open
flames add moisture to indoor air, creating increased
condensation.
