Condensation created by propane heaters.
Re: Condensation created by propane heaters.
I'll just reiterate a little about propane and venting. In a nut shell anytime a hydrocarbon burns one byproduct of that combustion is water. You can't get around that part of basic chemistry. Normally that water is steam and you probably won't see it. Like out of a car's tail pipe in the summer or an airplane at low altitude where it's warm. When winter comes or a plane gets up to where it's cold you'll see white exhaust and water dripping out of tail pipes of cars. (con trail conspiracy theories are pretty laughable)
Anyway with a non vented propane heater that water vapor stays inside and condenses on anything below the dew point. It'll start on the windows first and as the temp drops you'll see the framing and possibly the whole outside wall get wet or frosty. Best bet is just stay away from non vented heaters in a camper and keep your cook stove use to a minimum when it's cold.
I'm spending a northern Minnesota winter in an 84 34V. It's still pretty warm around freezing, 36F now. Going to get interesting when the temp drops to -36F. And it will. . . . .
