Preventing Condensation on Walls of House Trailer?

I live in a small 1985 trailer. We noticed that in our bedroom closet the wall is wet. I had to remove all the blankets I had stacked in it. There is not enough insulation. And how do I fix it? There is no mold, but we did notice we had to fix the floor in that corner before we moved in and at first thought it was due to a leaky roof, but that is not the case. Thanks for any ideas.

Step 1
Look and make sure the home is on a concrete slab.

Step 2
If it is not, put a plastic sheet under the trailer. Hold it down with rocks.

Step 3
Remove a piece of panelling , the plastic should be visible.

Step 4
If your home does not have a plastic barrier, install one.

Step 5
Check for roof vents you need air circulating properly.

Step 6
Stop using a humidifier, as it creates moisture in the air.

You are going to need to buy insulation and install this in the back of your closet behind the paneling. You can either do this from the outside of the trailer or inside the closet itself. You might want to look first at the closet paneling and see if it is easy to remove or not.

If you crack or break the paneling when removing it, you'll need to buy new paneling to put in its place.

You need to install a moisture barrier insulation between the wall and the outside of the trailer.
