I am brand new to caravaning and read about the condensation problems and was wondering if it is safe to use a mini de-humidifier in a caravan. You can buy them at woolys for about £40.

Any advise

No reason why not.

Do you mean while you are using it or while you are not?

Adequate heating and ventilation should mean you would not have a problem.  Are you getting condensation in a specific area?   Downsides to a dehumidifier are the space it takes up and the noise it makes.

The himidifier is only a little bigger than 2 bags of sugar and a lot lighter. I have not used the van yet I am just thinking ahead.

Is this an electric one?   Sorry!  I am not familiar with it.   My daughter uses an electric dehumidifier in her flat, it is amazing how much water it collects!

Sorry know nothing about these but why would you need one in a caravan? Caravans are well ventilated anyway.
