No doubt, one of those rules of life I guess. I what it will
no doubt come down to is I'll get the largest building I can
afford.

The roof vent has been open, for how long I have no idea.
Probably years. Don't know where you're at, but in New England
we can have huge variations in temperature over the course of
the day. I can easily imagine the summer sun beating down on
the trailer, it gets really hot, exhausting air out the roof
vent. Then sun goes down, the trailer starts to cool down and
sucks in moist air. The moisture then condenses on the walls,
and the mold has a field day.

I'm not there at my father's house so I can't be opening and
closing windows based on conditions, so I'm still thinking a
dehumidifier makes a lot of sense. Just don't know if I might
possibly cause problems by keeping it *too* dry in there for a
long period of time.

Subject: [VAL] 12V dc problems

Hello,
I am the proud new owner of a 1971 Streamline trailer. All of the 110V
outlets and such work fine (including A/C). None of the 12V DC light fixtures
or fans work. The trailer has a Magnetek 3230 converter. I checked all of
the fuses on it's DC panel. One 20a fuse was blown and I changed it, but
still have no 12V power. I do not have a battery on board, but I didn't think
that mattered when hooking up to 110V power source. I have a volt meter. Can
someone point me in the right direction to isolating the problem? I guess I
need some troubleshooting tips.
Thanks,
Bill Moore
