I cannot see how providing heat can prevent damp in the form of water penetration. This is the form of damp that I think most of us are concerned about. Some may argue that by creating a temperature differential you are more likely to create expansion/contraction movement in your seals

You may dry out damp air but in this case that air moisture must land somewhere as condensation. I think a decent dehumidifier would do this job better as the moisture from the air will land in the dehumidifier tank but I think some dehumidifiers as rubbish.

I don't use either heater or dehumidifier and its ok. Take out bedding & clothing, leave ehu connected for battery & occasional cleaning etc

hi no point really,ours goes on two days before we go all other times it is left wide open to prevent mould forming. the dehumidifier is a small one bought from woolworth and cost £20,as said its on a timer for 6 hours a day as is the battery charge.like this one
