Our 9 year old is just getting over Bronchitis and benefits from a humidifier in her room each night.  My wife wants to bring it camping but I'm worried the moisture from it could cause damage.  I recall reading something about watching the inside moisture level carefully, etc.  Am I being paranoid or overly protective of my RPOD and/or not protective enough toward my daughter?  I think the cooler air and relatively high humidity in the air where we are going will naturally help...maybe just wishful thinking?  Any experience or thoughts about a humidifier in the unit at night?  Thanks for your insights!
Thanks for any advice!

Well maintaining a dry Pod is rather important.

Forest River even states in it's manuals about maintaining humidity between 30%-50% and using a dehumidifier to keep it dry inside.  They caution to not keep wet clothing and towels inside and to always after showering to open up the vent and fans to pull out and dry the camper.

High humidity levels can lead to mildew and mold.

Jato - You might want to take a look back at your recent posting. Something has gone horribly wrong <LOL>.
