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.

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. ------------- .: Mark & Beth :: Silverado 5.3L :: 2018 rPod 180 :. |

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.
