Hello,
We have been camping in our new rpod 177 and the last few days it has been raining a lot.  This morning when i woke up we had a lot of moisture built up on the rear window and it was dripping inside I also checked ALL the seams inside the camper and they were damp with moisture as well.  I was very surprised to see all the seams inside to have moisture.  Should I be concerned?

Condensation likes to collect at the seams and around the window frames to drip into the window wells and down the sides along the trim.  Did you leave a window cracked and the fan on with the cover cracked open an inch?  It looks like the seams are leaking but mostly likely not.  Please check and get back to us Smile

I agree with g4royce, I'm sure you'll find it's condensation. Most folks leave the ceiling vent in the privvy cracked a bit and that seems to take care of it. The pods are pretty well insulated and even with the single pane windows you can just about heat the things with a light bulb.

Ditto and ditto.  We also leave the vent open at least an inch and one or two windows open a crack if the A/C isn't on.
