Two questions....has anyone got a Movelite Awning for their Van? If so what is it like? We have a small Eriba Puck and want something light but roomy.

Secondly does anyone use a small Oil heater in their caravan on low during the winter months to help dispel damp? If so, any thoughts good/bad, and any recommendations on which one to buy?

Thanks

hi any heat will give rise to more condensation ,we use salt in three bowls,but not on a polished surface as this will damage it with the fumes.and a small dehumidifier from time to time.see  www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com  they are doing moisture bags cheap.

Heat and ventillation should eliminate damp.  I am not sure about oil but most hydrocarbons(propane, butane etc.) when they burn produce carbon dioxide and water.  Oils will also give off other byproducts.

I have seen on another thread here the suggestion that cushions and bedding if possible can be stored in the house.  This is ok if you have a nice warm dry box room.
