sweating windows (formerly ponderings and questions)
Yahoo Message Number: 97334
Helen,

If you don't have a FantasticFan in your vent(s), install one. I found my 22' rig dries right out if I crack a window in the front and run the FantasticFan to pull the air out while I take the dogs for their first walk of the day. By the time I get back, all the condensation is gone from the windows.

You might also try running your A/C for a while in the morning to dry it out.

If it's really going to be soggy, I run an electric dehumidifier.

Hi Lori -
 I do have a power fan installed - in the front.  I'll do what you suggest in the morning, and let it run while I'm letting dogs out and getting ready for work.  I usually leave the window cracked all day, anyway.

Thanks for the tip!

Hey Lori - Did you stop by the mothership?  Just wondering how you decided on a 24ft FL.

 Helen, perhaps you know this already, but there is only one couch in the 30' and it's midship (and there's no option for a second couch).
Removing it would eliminate a lot of under couch storage space.
Removing the chairs would make more sense if you are looking for a place to put dog crates.  Maybe you were thinking of the 30' twin bed setup where you might be able to remove one bed at the rear of the coach.  I'm not sure what's under those beds; probably one of them is over the water tank.

We have five small dogs and don't use any crates in either our car or our RV.
Most of them ride on the passenger's lap, some ride in the back, some in the space between the seats. Here is a picture of Tobi in a dog bed between the seats.
There is room in the bed for another dog and Kona sometimes joins her there.

In the car often a dog will ride on the dash: http://www.flickr.com/photos/safoocat/2865212681/ We might do that in the RV too once we get a rug up there.

Here are the dachshunds in their bed in the car. We have a similar bed in the RV in the back by in the kitchen. http://www.flickr.com/photos/safoocat/2036899252/ Michelle http://safoocat.blogspot.com/ http://flickr.com/photos/safoocat/

 in the 30 foot twin, the water tank is under the passenger side bed, the drivers side bed is over an outside bin, so that would be the one to remove.  That said, the pass through is under both beds so that would have to be taken into consideration also.

However if your animals are crated and there is a fire they won't be able to escape.
You just can't tell what kind of emergency may happen. I presume your crates are secured and evreything else

Easy enough - build a platform box where one is removed, retaining storage for stuff. (Dog toys?)....Or could put the box over the water tank - whichever side suited best.

Hi, Helen,
 We have a 30'TB. If you remove the mattresses from the twin beds, you have built in platforms, complete with lips, to prevent the crates from sliding.  I'd still add eyebolts to allow the crates to be strapped in, though.  I hope the dogs would enjoy the great views out the windows! That would mean no loss of outside storage space or new construction.  You would still have the full-size pull-out bed/sofa in the front to use for sleeping.

We travel with two Yorkies, who ride in a crate that is strapped in place behind the driver's seat, where one of the barrel chairs normally would be.  We replaced the other barrel chair with a reclining arm-less office chair.  Much more comfortable for us than the barrel chair, but some folks do like the barrel chairs.
 If you travel by yourself, or with only one other person, that might work for you and your "flying paps".
