Condensation

[DavidG58]

Don't think you would last long on pure CO2

As far as I know though, nothing can naturally generate 100% CO2

here we go again, CO2 is not a killer, CO is carbon monoxide which is a killer

I stand corrected by your obviously far superior knowledge of the subject but there still shouldn't be vents from the fridge into the habitation area of your MoHo, but then again that's my opinion only.

Dont exert yourself to a sweat, dont breath and dont cook........then you should be ok.

Interesting point, I will raise a new thread to avoid confusion / hijack

OK, got that. Eat in restaurant, bonk outside, hold your breath all night. Great this motor homing innitt.

We certainly are using the van...... came back mid October from a two month stay in Bennicasim (Spain).... Lake Garda fours weeks from early March this year,
Croatia, five weeks September-October last year... were beginning to think that its the heater doing its job

Gellyneck means are you using the van while parkd at home.
if you arent actually living in it then little moisture will be produced so condensation shouldnt occur

Taylor Made external does the trick for us. Just been away for 10 days in very cold conditions down to -6 at night. Also used our internal concertina privacy blind and absolutely no condensation.

Chrissy+John, two books I bought off Amazon.1)."How Katie Pulled Boris" & 2)."Europe In A Motorhome" I preferred the latter.Happy new year also.

An excellent read and i can recommend it.

A families adventures and mishaps in a year touring the four corners of Europe in a 34ft RV.

We bought SilverScreens (external) and have been using them for the last month in temperatures down to -5c. We do always crack the roof vent open when cooking but otherwise no windows open.

They are the BEST thing we have ever bought for the van............. NO CONDENSATION.............WARMER VAN............NO COLD DRAUGHTS WHEN SAT IN THE FRONT

I can not recommend them enough....

Correct, there should be a rubber or felt seal separating the working parts of an absorption fridge from the habitation area. I only know this because our dometic fridge/freezer has recently dumped all it's ammonia into the ventilation space and not into the hab. area, am now in the process of dismantling said offending item

The warmer you get the inside of the van the more chance there is of condensation, warm air carries moisture suspended in it, when the moist warm air hits a cold surface it can not carry as much moisture so it drops it onto the cold surface, that might be somewhere you can see like the windscreen or cold spots around window frames or it might be somewhere you can't see it so easily.

Not wishing to undermine you in anyway and we do appreciate your thoughts but after a fairly cold night the wife and I both inspected the interior of the van at approximately 8.30 this morning and could find no cold spots or any signs of moisture on any hard surfaces which I believe your referring to, also it appears most poster's here are more than convinced that the 'Silver' external screens crack the condensation issue..perhaps to lay this to rest some sort of moisture meter ? may convince every one who thinks like me they haven't got a moisture problem

If you have been living in the van I would have expected some misting on the windows at least, but won't dispute your practical findings.
