Have RF35RL, 2011. Been finding moisture under the matress after a restful nights sleep. Have to lift matress and place fan under in attempt to dry it out. Do leave windows and vents cracked at all times, in all weather. Thinking that the temp diff between inside and out may be the cause?, just don't know for sure and how to prevent. Anyone...? Thanks!

i put swimming "noodles" between the mattress and the outer walls.Seems to help. Also thinking about insulating the front storage "ceiling" under the bed.

w&cferb, I did that on our trailer. I insulated the "ceiling" area of the front storage compartment and the pass thru storage area. To us it made a big difference in the bedroom/bath area.

We used a material called "Dry Bunk" under the matress on our boat to keep out moisture and control mildew. Theyalso have a new productcalled Hypervent that may work for you. Here is a link to their site ==> http://search.defender.com/?expression=dry%20bunk

I also insulated the pass through. My wife says her feet thanks me. and the savings from less heat loss is great. I used 1&1/2 styerfoam. If your heating with furnace heat with electric.

We love our unit but Crossroads should consider the foam insulation. Ours has fiberglass batts with the foil wrap ("polar wrap"). We get condensation in the front bed when winter camping. I think these units should be tighter than they are.

Thanks to all. Placed/nailed 1 x 2's, flat under matress on top of plywood, and so far no problems, air circulating I reckon ....
