Default Humidifier and vapor question

In my three bedroom trailer, I've got a floor model

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?


Johnstone sells smoke bombs that are used by HVAC guys to check for
leaks. I have some somewhere and they're lot's of fun to play with. ^_^

I may look into that. Alternative is a tin can
full of hay and straw. Light that up.
