Condensation

[WITCHY]

Hello to all...
Can anyone help with condensation...we got 3 fur babies in front of cab last night..left window open slightly...didn't have any heat going...so consequently the other half moaned about how
cold it was this morning...in FREEDOM..also some stuff felt a bit damp...obviously I must be doing something wrong...as look at other mhs around site and they don't look like they have condensation on windows much...should I leave a heater just ticking over through the night..have a little one that turns off when you reach yr desired temp..then comes on again automatically when it drops..sorry for long winded message....

Heat will make the condensation worse. As does breathing, but it difficult to stop that.

Where is the condensation ? The windscreen is the biggest condensation attractor in a motorhome. Most of your other windows should be double glazed.
External silver screens virtually eliminate the problem.
A karcher window vac is also invaluable in drying off condensation.
Ventilation is key, but you also need to stay warm enough but warm air does hold more moisture.
It's about striking a balance, but first step is to try silver screens.

Surely if u have the heat on a little and a top vent open then the warm air should carry moisture out - then fully vent in the morning when dressed ?

As already been said external screens will eliminate condensation

Your dragging warm air in from outside that holds more water, so makes condensation on windows

Overnight we always have a minimum temperature, 15-18c and some venting we don't tend to have a wet front screen we do not use a silver screen and the van does not feel damp. If boiling a pan of water side windows are open along with the roof light.

My suggestion is don't let the van cool down too much overnight and keep the van vented... try the silver screens as people seem to rate them

That shouldn't apply as it is permanently on 'recirculate'. fan has to be physically turned to the opposite direction with it's own speeds to let air in from outside & it has never been on that whilst I've owned it.

Try cracking the windows open a inch or two then

This. We carry both and use them.

External screen, don't bother with internal one. It's surprising the difference an external screen makes for both cold and hot weather.

We have the Polar screen, it's good.

Stop breathing

Second for Silver Screens, can be a bit of a pain in the rear having to go outside on a cold evening, but will pay dividends in the morning.
