Best dehumidifier (2 Viewers)

[Joycenpete]

Anyone know best dehumidifier for motorhome ?. Is it worth having one ?

Wouldn't bother, motorhomes have plenty of passive ventilation, you will be trying to dehumidify the Earth.
My opinion would be that in the UK dessicated dehumidifiers are better as they work better at lower temps.

 

[Razamataz]

Nope

 

[dazandandrea]

Dont bother

I’d absolutely bother, as do lots of other Funsters…

Tips for preventing condensation in a motorhome.

This morning my campervan had loads of condensation in the windows. I'm sure there must be loads of ways of managing this. I don't store it with hook up so I can't run a dehumidifier. What else can I do?

I’ve been using this for past 12 years and it never ceases to amaze me how much moisture is in the air. It’s ok saying there’s plenty of ventilation, but if it’s cold damp air coming in, then this is ideal.

Talking about vehicles left on forecourts over winter, I walked past a dealership yesterday morning and the inside of every single vehicle on the forecourt was covered in so much moisture, you couldn’t see inside it. Came past a few hours later and it had gone. It was still inside, waiting for the sunshine to go back in and it’ll be back. Tis the same with nearly all motorhomes on a forecourt.

I also have one of these and have been impressed with its performance..

I have a 240v dehumidifier running during the winter. Circulates the air and keeps everything dry. Mine has an adjustable setting so I can set when it operates.

In my experience, the unibond ones didn't reduce the moisture at all. I'm quite a geek and I had a humidity sensor next to it and it didn't change at all the whole time I had it. Therefore I would recommend a mains operated one.

I'd not bother.
You are better off cracking open a window or roof vent and ensuring all bedding is removed and open every internal locker.

Ventilation is your friend.
I have a rain proof roof vent in bathroom which we leave open and open cupboards and also check floor vents are clear.

We had an old car which we weren't using and it sat on the drive all winter - mould growing on the fabric by spring due to the dampness building up and not escaping.

I use a 240V dehumidifier set on a low setting in the colder/damper parts of the winter in the van. Since it will be cold in the van, a compressor based dehumidifier will be little use (they work best in warm conditions). Get a dessicant based one (they have a rotating dessicant wheel inside that absorbs moisture during most of the revolution, then is heated to drive out the moisture at one point and then the driven out moisture condenses and collects).

I have the EcoAir DD1 Simple (actually have 2, one for the van and one for an outbuilding with stuff in that doesn't want to get damp/rusty)

cheers,

Robin

For various reasons, mostly to do with guitars, I started monitoring the humidity levels around our house (in 3 separate places).
I have purchased a few things over recent years, ranging in price from £10 to £150, but if it's not raining outside and there's even the slightest breeze, if I open the front door and the back door, the humidity drops considerably within 3 or 4 minutes.
My top of the range £150 dehumidifier takes hours and hours to achieve the same job.
The process begins again the following morning
