Condendation in closets HELP

We had had quite a bit of condensation in the closets in the bedroom. We have one slide wardrobe and 1 other closet. Any advice on how to control it?

Try leaving a window(s) or vent(s) open slightly to allow circulation of air. If you have everything shut up tight, this does not allow any air to enter or exit the unit and it will condense on a wall, window, mirror, etc.

You could also place a small, circulating fan - perhaps on a timer -in the RV to maintain a constant flow of in the inside if the problem continues. If it does continue, then we should be looking at other causes and fixes.

If you're sure it's condensation and not a leak, then air movement in the area to displace the moist air is the only way. Try opening the closet doors turning on a fan to blow dryer air across the closets and letting things dry out. Once they are dry, you might try some "sta-dri" or another dessicant product, but the best way is to keep the air fresh inside the closets by circulating it.

We leave our closet doors open after we make up the bed, get dressed and leave for a while. When we return and will be milling around in the bedroom, we close the closet doors so they aren't in our way, but if we're not going to be in the room, we just leave them open.
