Why does my 4 Star all aluminum trailer sweat in the dressing room?  At first I thought I had a leak but don't.  Is it the Florida humidity and not keeping the trailer in garage.  Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

 Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat and cold. When a warm, moist, interior air touches a cool aluminum skin, as you will have on an overnight, it will cause the air to condense and moisture droplets will form on the metal's surface. The only way to avoid this situation is to insulate the interior surfaces.

Insulation will help but it is airtight and will sweat we keep a tub of Damp Rid in the trailer and it sucks the moisture out.

We have the same issue and use Damp Rid as well, which helps a little. I also noticed that the DR window stripping/seal had popped out of place and allowed rain to come in along the window slider. Pesky little leak especially with our afternoon Florida thunderstorms.
