Heavy Condensation

[TwoKozy]

FR Rockwood 2020 2511S Mini Lite. In CT. visiting relatives. Been in the low to mid 40's at night.Propane heater set around 65-68, comes on for 3-8 minutes every couple of hours. Comfortable.
My question is this, woke up this morning with heavy (I think) condensation on the inside of my fixed front window.Front of TT over head of bed. 6 other windows throughout TT have no condensation. All were shut tight for the night.
Should I be concerned about this? Let it air dry and then clean? First morning we've noticed this. Temperature differential of outside inside glass?
Thoughts?

I assume you slept in the area where the condensation is?

Simply air out the camper once the outside temps get into the 60's. A fan to increase circulation can help.
If you are going to spend more nights I'd crack a window a bit to promote air exchange.

Nomenclature matters.

You really using a propane heater?

A propane heater puts out quarts of water vapor and CO2 at best (CO at worst) -- use your furnace instead as all the vapor and fumes go outdoors.

I would be worried if you did not have some condensation on the window as that is the result of breathing. As counter intuitive as it sounds, crack a window or two in the bedroom to allow for some outside air. You can also add a small fan to circulate bedroom air with living area. Also check the mattress for moisture anywhere it is against an exterior wall. If needed add a foam swimming pool noodle between wall and mattress.

You do realize all that water vapor and carbon monoxide get vented outside when running the camper's propane heater?

His condensation is caused by their breathing as someone above posted.

The furnace is a propane heater isn't it ? I think the op means furnace .

Woke this morning in PA with some condensation on the windows. Same as above, utilized the furnace. We started a very small dehumidifier and the windows cleared off. To the question above, should we have wiped down the windows?

By comparsion, we were camped in our Spirit 1943RB last week, since having shore power used out electric tower heater to keep warm, water heated on Electric as well.

We had minimal condensation on the windows in the morning, more on the kitchen window with the coffee maker nearby. As noted, propane heating does put some moisture in the air. One way to mitigate it some is to crack open a roof vent, and have a small fan move air.

For us last week, once we wiped the condensation after opening the shades, it was pretty much gone the rest of each day.

Crack open the roof vents about an inch and that will reduce your condensation.
