foggy humid wet windows - patty_austin - 02-05-2010 04:41 Can anyone help us? Everytime we hit rain the windshield fogs so badly the coach is undrivable. We wipe them down, the defroster is on (does not help). Seems the only thing that improves the condition is to turn the airconditioners on all around to a popcicle temperature and freeze but hey the windshield is clear. I cant believe they made the coach to run this way, it must be some settings that we are overlooking. Anyone experience this and find out how to correct it? It is just so annoying and time consuming. Thanks in advance for anything that could help us out, Patty Austin 88 wanderlodge PT40 Tampa FL foggy humid wet windows - Markus Meyer - 02-05-2010 04:51 Is your dash air working? The a/c is used with the defroster so if its not working, the defrost won't work as well in humid conditions. Markus To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com From: patty_austin@...

foggy humid wet windows - Elliot - 02-05-2010 05:09 Markus is asking you the right question. My understanding is that the defrost/defog setting should activate the dash a/c compressor to de-humidify the air.

The "dash air" isn't dash here. It is overhead. The defrosters come from the dash heaters. There is no connection between the two. My defrosters do work fairly well.

Fullenwider - 02-05-2010 05:26 This is an '88 PT and the controls for the dash air and defrost is separate systems I believe. The common AC/Heat control was not introduced until the '90's Coach's. But I could be mistaken on this point. So warm air inside, glass (inside) cold equals moisture on the inside glass and fog. So if the glass (inside) is warmer than the cold out side, the moisture forms on the out side. I have not thought about this since high school. lol Is the defrost switch on the lower dash with a front heat on/off switch? I know the defrost in my FC barely stems the tide of fog on the drivers side, and not very good until the inside of the windshield warms up. I have helped it out by switching on the Coach air, fan only, on the overhead to assist the air moving.

foggy humid wet windows - freewill2008 - 02-05-2010 16:52 When our coach gets saturated with humidity we hook up to 50 amps and run the air conditioners and the heat together for however long it takes, a couple hours at least, better yet on and off for a day or two. The excess coach humidity runs out the AC condensation drains and you are done with if for a while. A leaking heater core usually makes itself known because the coach starts to smell like a radiator. Bob Griesel '84 FC31 WLII WA --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Patty Austin > > It is not just the windshield it is the entire coach, all windows become so wet they soak the frames at the bottoms. Does this still sound like a heater core leak? How can i tell the difference?

There is also a possibility that you have a leak in the heater core.
