Sheri,

The coast of Oregon is notoriously damp/wet/humid. But you shouldn’t be having those kind of issues.

My recommendation is that you look to see if you have any leaks – roof, windows, side panels, etc. Since you are getting mildew around the windows, start there. I’m wondering if there are gaps or something there, allowing for excess water to come in. Also look above them – could water be running down but collecting here because of the edges of the windows? Perhaps a small leak around a seam where the roof meets the side wall.

I’m very puzzled with the interior “Rain” I continue to fight in my 5th Wheel. I have an 1100sq foot dehumidifier inside my 200ft 5th wheel. I also have 6 hanging and 2 sitting Damprid containers. Nothing seems to make any difference to help lower the humidity in here. My Windows, and I have 3 cracked open, are always full of steam. I have a lot of mildew on the iside edges of the windows in my bedroom. What else can I do? I’m also using an electric heater and have turned the fan on, so air is moving around. It’s 55 outside and I’m on the southern most city, on the coast, in Oregon. I’ve yet to find others, in the park, with the same problem, so apparently it’s something I”m doing wrong. I don’t boil water inside, I use a Toaster Oven and Microwave to cook in. I’m truly stumped. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
