Maybe even more than that.

From my old fire science days, I remember that water
vaporizes, and increases 1800 times volume.

That means I'm putting 3600 gal a day of vapor into
my trailer. Some condenses on the inside of windows,
but not two gal per day worth. I wonder where the
rest of that vapor goes? I don't have any windows
cranked open, and I'm not holding the door open all
day.

Makes me wonder what I can do, to reduce the air and
heat loss?

Think about all the air vents you have. Our triple-wide mfg. home, built
1981, has quite a few vents. Kitchen hood vent, two bathroom vents,
cloths dryer vent. All the sinks have vents that suck air from behind
the wall when the water is drained.

Then there are all the openings when plumbing is through the floor. I am
sure there are others. Just look and think.
