I also put a space heater in the bow cabin and in the aft cabin. Both are set on the lowest setting that doesn't turn them off. That keeps the mold away. I have tried Dave's low wattage round fan in the fwd cabin, but the mold won.
Space heaters are a must I'm expecting the power bill this winter, lol thats one service yuz got to have.
