I’ve had a few cold nights and have had condensation on the front bedroom window in the mornings. It’s warping the the wood on one side under the window now. Is this covered by Warranty since my Connect is Les then a year old. I’ve lowered the heater to 65 at night and opened the roof vent a tad but still get condensation.

I’d check the warranty question with your dealer. As for the condensation problem you’re describing is a common problem with RV’s since they heat with propane which has and creates condensation specifically on glass.

I forgot to add this thought to my reply, a dehumidifier works well in a RV to combat the humidity problems, but don’t forget to empty the moisture tank that it collects.

I forgot to add this thought to my reply, a dehumidifier works well in a RV to combat the humidity problems, but don’t forget to empty the moisture tank that it collects. The propane furnace is vented outdoors and none of the water vapor should enter the living space. A dehumidifier could be connected to a hose that drains thru the floor to avoid emptying the tank. My concern with this unit is that there may be leaks allowing rain water to enter the wall. If it were mine, I would look and test for that possibility, or actually remove the window and reseal. Of course water can enter anywhere so checking the roof is a must. |

I doubt this would be under warranty since it's past the time.You posted that its a 2021, but you say its less than a year old. So which is it?
If you're sleeping in the trailer and it gets cool, the condension is from your breath while your sleeping. The same thing happens in a tent when it gets cool.
Either run the heater at a higher temp or run a dehumidifier. Maybe both.

My bad it is a 2022 model that was a hold over and we purchased it in 2023. We haven’t had it for a year yet and also paid for extended warranty ( what ever that covers). I will be taking it back to the dealer and let them figure out the issue.
