does this heater cause "sweating" or moisture on windows or walls in RVs?

I sold that camper a couple years ago, but I don't remember it "sweating", or if it did it was very little. Remember you need to ventilate the space that the heater is in, that should help with the moisture problem.

no evidence of sweating with my Olympian 6 in my Airstream 31 or with my Olympian 8 in my Argosy 24. In fact, in the Argosy I removed the ducted furnace and replaced it with only the Olympian 8 ...... toasty.

I didn't use it in an RV, I used it in a cargo trailer. It did cause condensation on the metal in it initially. But this was because the trailer was not insulated in any way. So cold metal on one side (below freezing in winter) and hot metal on the other (heated interior) is going to cause that, I then insulated the trailer and the problem went away. Long story short, if your RV is insulated (as most if not all are) then there won't be condensation. These units are specifically made for RVs.

I use the Wave heater in tight quarters, in a pickup shell. I slide open three windows about an inch (as the instructions suggest), and the heater does not cause sweating or moisture.

I have not found moisture to be a problem at all, but we live in a fairly dry climate. We actually have a humidifier on our furnace. You probably don't need a dehumidifier. I am very satisfied with this product!

The heater and the humidifier are competing with each other. The humidifier does put a lot of moisture into the room but if the heater is drying the atmosphere more than the humidifier is moistening it, you will not feel the full benefit of the humidifier. In a small room you will have a better chance to feel the benefit of the humidifier.

I use this all year in my RV, even in the summer months when it is very humid. The unit does put out a small amount of warmth (not hot at all), but nothing strong enough to work against your AC. While it may make a small room heat up if you place it in there and close the door, placing it in the main part of your house where there is more air flow, you will not notice any difference.

If it's a inside wall. Econo- Heat say's no outside walls either block or framed Cold air will effect the way the heater operates. I found out some of my heaters burned out after a few years. I still have one that is three years old.

I've had mine running on my wall heaters for two years with no issues. The only issue I have is that the temperature read 2 degrees higher than the room temperature

We use ours in a 25' motorhome. Have had no problem. We keep a roof vent open as always in an RV to vent moisture and provide some ventilation. Works well and puts out some good heat.

I run mine twice a day for 20 minutes and I can not tell that it actually adds any moisture into the room. I think it dissipates as fast as it emits into the air. Hope this helps you.

No it does not, which is why we purchased a swamp cooler versus a room ac unit. We did not want to deal with windows and venting

Mine has not had any problems, we live in eastern NC which has high humidity, very good fan.

This just puts out a low amount of heat into the area to help keep the moisture level down. Uses very little electricity . I use it in my travel trailer and I live in a very wet area during the winter. It gets cold but more wetness....

De-humidifiers put out a lot of heat. If it's a small room it will heat up.

I live in Florida with high humidity even in winter, so not sure about where you are. It is worth a try though for I have one in our rv, which works very well.

My heater had a VERY brief smell-I would be concerned if it is lasting any length of time. Make sure the back is clear and there is some clearance underneath. (Ours is on a hardwood floor) Good luck-I really like ours.

I live in a humid climate and have not experienced this. My rack is in a utility room which is insulated but which I shut off to save utility costs. I use it 2-3 times a week with damp items. I was very fond of my wooden one which mildewed and. broke down after years of service. This one is performing like a champ.

seems to be a problem with some of these units. mine will do that every once an awhile right now it is not doing that . I think it has something to do with moisture in the unit and temperature

If you where it for a long time you will sweat behind it. but as far as Hot no. I do several mobile homes at a time, just sweating can happen. Hope this helps
