  3. put any blankets, (loose) cushions, bedding etc away in cupboards or take them out when your storing the van, fabric absorbs loads of moisture and can contribute to that cold claggy feel

    we use the salt in trays and if it's really bad, those moisture trap things, Lakeland to a big refill bag, we bought one about 3 years ago, haven't got half way through yet

  7. Loads of places where water/damp air can get in, plus cold surfaces = condensation. :(
     
  8. if you're serious about keeping it damp free buy a boat heater (low wattage tube heater) and set it on a thermostat
    Most covers will encourage condensation...it's better off without...open to the elements and open the doors every now and then to change the air. devons have a two passive mushroom vents in the roof...if these are covered up there's very little air exchange
     
  9. could the jk covers be waterproofed with tent/boot waterproofer...:thinking:
     
  10. I wouldn't try to make something waterproof tbh...the less breathable the more damp air will stagnate inside[​IMG]
    Something along these lines will suffice if you're laying the bus up for any length of time...otherwise a run out once a week will dry it out and change the air
     
  11. Not if its puddled in the footwell ! :eek:
     
  12. wet fart maybe
     
  13. I have a big problem with condensation. Been looking around at mini dehumidifiers....there are a few marine 12v ones around that look pretty good for around the £40 mark and have a 2L catch tank, so i'm gonna pick one up to try out I think. Figure if they work in a boat they should do fine in a bus that isn't permanently surrounded by water lol
