I have my bus now and after stripping alot of old carpet off the ceiling I noticed that the 4104 has insulation in the ceiling. Now I noticed that condensation builds up on the trim pieces and drips, is there a simple solution to this so we can just replace the panels on the roof and start building our interior or are we destined to rebuild the ceiling. We would like to keep the original look but replace the panels with new material. I also noticed the condensation is worse in the back where there is no double ceiling. |

Gerald,
I'm no insulation expert but my guess is the only to stop condensation on a 4104 is with spray on insulation on every Al piece. Al is the very worst metal for condensation and mine drips every time the weather gets warmer and the air is humid-which in the south is very often!
I've just decided that I will live with mine, I'm sure not going to strip it and spray-I'm too old for that! |

Thanks, I am in the first stages so that may be an option for me, the original converters put capet on the ceiling but did not change the original ceiling so I can easily remove the panels and do that. |

The overhead IS insulated , you're condensation is from the hard contacts that pass the insulation and touch the damp inner surface.
Anything you van do to dry the interior (throw away any unvented heaters) and use a lid on the lobster pot. Or crack open a vent.Some RV places have thru the wall 12v vents that install behind a stove , that really help.
