Yes we use vac bags for bedding in the winter and leave them in the van as we only go away for 2-4 nights a month in winter generally.
Will be vac packing the bedding this weekend.
We have a cordless Hoover in the van that works great on the vacuum bags.

Yes.
Bought a load of vacuum bags at IKEA.
All the bedding, pillows, duvets towels, etc all lives in the van in vacuum bags over the winter.
I don't bother to hook up to the hoover to get rid of every last bit of air.
I just simply sit on them to get rid of most of the air, and that keeps them all dry inside.

We leave everything in the van ready to go, & however infrequently we use it over winter, it’s always been fine! No heating on when left - it’s got enough ventilation naturally, so no condensation!

We go away all year round, but we do vac pack our bedding between trips.

That's what I say to husband but he says it's either to wet or too cold to go..I thought that's the whole point of owning mh..to just get up and go..pack my 3 fur babies and off..even if just a day or so..hmmph...by Feb it will be out of tax..what a waste...

We just leave the bedding place so it's ready to go whenever we decide to get away for a few days. Too much faff taking everything off the bed then putting in vacuum bags just to get it all out again and remake the bed!

We always leave the beds made up never had a problem in 16 years.

People don't take the seats indoors ... and they don't go foosty, so why should the bedding? It just feels cold generally, not damp.

Yes have thought of that..as I own her completely...and have driven her a couple of times now even tho she's a manual and my little car is auto...but I manage ok even with back and hip problems...so yes..it could come to that..it wouldn't bother me or my fur babies(3 border collies)...

 

[Burge]

Go without him then

Sounds like a plan

Never mind about the bedding we need pictures of the dogs. We have two border collies, one is quite geriatric
