We use the silica gel too, and have about 4 positioned in different spots. Works wonders.

We have never encountered condensation in our van when it is not being used!  Surely you need the van warmer inside for condensation to happen!  Neither have we used any silica products as I imagine they simply draw in moisure from the air that is constantly circulationg in the van..

I agree, we don't move anything or use any silica products either. It's like emptying your house if you go away for the winter. No point!

 

 

Hi

A while ago i read on here to use salt so have been using it for a couple of years and i just change it every so often.

Freedoms have very poor insulation, thats why I got rid of mine.

Get an Eriba---no problem.

As has been said previously caravans are so well ventilated what is the point of either a dehumidifier or silica products. There is fresh air coming in all the time so you can never dry the air out. A caravan in storage should not get condensation. As someone said dont mix up condensation and coldness.

In winter when using a caravan and gas heaters you may get condensation but remember you should Always use gas appliances with suitable ventilation and that will stop undue condensation.

We have today just come back from a four day break and every night we had condensation on the windows and under the seats. We had a window on nightlatch and some silica gel yet stll had the problem.We didn't use gas for anything as we have a 500w electic oil heater.

We have come to the conclusion that it must be the boiling of the Kettle and using the Remoska that gives out steam that causes the condisation.

While the caravan is on our front and not in use we have a 500w oil heater on low in  it all the time. we do get a small amount of condistation behind the cushions so now remove the cusions from the wall.

We have loads of air vents but still get the condisation problem during the winter.
