Bad aim? Oh, *niece* not nephew....
Lots of humidity and a temperature difference is all it takes. Poor air circulation contributes since this seems to be limited to one place in your RV.


Has it always been like this?

Bodies & breathing give off a lot of moisture. If she's sleeping next to an outside wall & it's much colder outside, there will be condensation. Keeping air circulating & using a dehumidifier will go a long ways to keep that from happening.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.

You didn't mention if there was any kind of curtain that would help hold the humid air she breathes up in the bunk area.


There has to be framing, which is probably aluminum between the outside fiberglass skin and the inside wall surface. Most likely there is no thermal break in the aluminum so it easily conducts the heat and cold to the opposing surface that is attached. Keeping air moving is about your best option.

Yes, we have a spot in the bedroom that is part of the metal form and it will form condensation when cold outside.

As has been said, poor insulation in the wall. You could try adding a piece of closed cell foam against the wall and see if the problem diminishes. Either a section of camping pad or styrofoam insulation would do it. If that does not work then it's a fan to move the air better. You probably should be running a dehumidifier if you are getting moisture problems.
