We use Dri-Z-Air in our camper in the winter to keep the humidity low. An article in the current issue of Trailer Life magazine (11-15) indicates it can be used while winter camping to stop the sweating of the walls. I have no experience with it while the camper is occupied, but it may be worth a try for those brave souls (or something like that) who camp in the cold.

And, as an aside, that same magazine issue has an article about a guy who camped all winter in an R-Pod in the Yukon. He survived. !

Me instead of Dri-Z-Air I am using Damp Rid and it seem to work fine

Thanks for the desiccant ideas guys. I can imagine several of those placed around the trailer helping to beat back the moisture. If it gets too terrible I'll give it a shot. Last year in real cold temps it was bad enough to notice but not a soaking really. One thing is the thermal windows don't suffer nearly as bad as the single pane ones in our old trailer used to. Those you could scrape down and make Frosties from.
