    One cure that used to be recommended if you cannot improve ventilation is to place sheets of cardboard between the surfaces effected. I suppose polystyrene would also be equally effective.

    Certainly I'd use polystyrene bars of say 3" by 2" and about the same length as the cushioning is wide { 15" perhaps ??} to space the cushioning away from the walls. This will allow air circulation round the suspect areas. BUT to help reduce this problem a reasonable amount of ventilation is vital, I'm afraid.

    Do you have condensation boards? These usually create an air gap between the cushion and the wall of the motorhome.
