Moisture in cabin
Moisture in cabin
I have been opening up my cabin if its a nice day to air it out and dry moisture but it seems to make it worse. When I closed it up this evening it seems to have more moisture on all inside surfaces like condensation. I'm on the mid atlantic coast. It was about 65 windy and no rain today. Maybe I should keep the dampdry buckets open and keep the cabin closed?

Re: Moisture in cabin
It sounds like you are running afoul of the dew point. Allowing the interior of the cabin to cool during the day can result in condensation like what you are describing.
Definitely keep the dampdry buckets open (can't hurt), but maybe close up before temperatures drop significantly?

The key to inner peace is to admit you have a problem and leave it at that.

Do you have access to AC power/wall plug ?
