condinsation in my wheel house???

[mysnopro]

I have trouble with condinsation on the screws that hold the inside finish boards on. These shacks are aluminium studded and have foam between the studs. One has luan on the inside and the other has that white fiber board that is made for bathrooms. The one with luan has a non vented propane and the other has a vented empire heater. I see the yetti house on here is strapped over the studs. Is this what i need to do? Or could i fill each stud with that spray foam? Don't really want to strip them down but will if needed. Thanks And You guys have a GREAT SITE HERE!!!!

Also, when you get them good and warm it dries up and stops dripping,but untill then its like a rain shower in them! Takes 30 minutes or so to get it warm enough to stop.

The aluminum studs are are transfering cold from outside straight thru the wall an thru the screws. the only way to stop it would be to have a thermal break between the aluminum and the interior, which is usually accomplished with the wood furring strips on metal studded houses.

That was my thought too! Just wish there was a easier way to fix them. Guess i will betaking them apart and fixing them! Live and learn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By putting the furring strips aren't you just slow down the process. What I mean is there ever any issues with the wood furring strips rotting? Just a thought I had.

Would leaving windows open a crack and opening the vents when not in use so moving air can eliminate humidity work to reduce condensation?

Put a small amount of silicone over each screw to completely cover the screw. You can get silicone for your calk gun in clear, white and possibly other colors. Silicone is a poor conductor of heat and may fix your problem if its limited to the screws.

This would be a good fix to the problem. You might also be able to buy screws that have premade plastic caps that fit over them for a cleaner look.

here is what you need to do. go with wood furring strips but run them horizontal to them studs . guarantee you it will solve the issue

Well i got one stripped down to the bare studs and am up in the air on what to do next? Should i lay foam over the studs or strap it and put my paneling back on? Only want to do this once!I am leaveing the insulation in betwween the studs.

Put horizontal firring strips and you will be glad you did
