Coping with condensation in a static caravan is to understand what causes it and then prevent it as much as you can. One day, scientists may discover a technique to prevent the consequences and damage, but in the meantime, here are some of our best compensation-cutting recommendations.

What Causes Condensation In Caravans

The main problem is insufficient ventilation in a static caravan. This does not imply that the production process has little or no ventilation. What we do in our static caravans throughout the winter months is the difference between having a lot of difficulties and only having a few.

The majority of modern static homes are double glazed and have high-quality central heating. When it’s cold outside, we naturally close the windows and doors and crank up the heat. Insulation is seen in many caravans. While double glass, central heating, and insulation make us warm, they also contribute to the formation of condensation. They all reduce ventilation, which is crucial!

Where To Find Condensation

Moisture forms on inside cold surfaces as a result of heat retention and restricted airflow. We know and observe that the most noticeable wetness is on windows because they cloud up. However, there are other regions that are less apparent, such as the insides of closets, wardrobes, and cabinets. Moisture will also collect in the room’s colder areas.

Condensation that is not dealt with swiftly can lead to the formation of mould, which is extremely damaging to fabrics and clothing. It can also cause wood to deteriorate.

Condensation Prevention

You cannot completely eliminate condensation in your secondhand static caravan, but you can take steps to reduce it and prevent the damage it causes. After you’ve been in your static house for a while, take some time to dry any damp surfaces, walls, or cupboards. This can be accomplished simply opening all of the windows and doors for as long as time and the weather permit. This will help to dry out soft furnishings, fabrics, and even your garments by removing moisture from windows.

If you’re not going to be using the caravan for a long time, scatter some wet absorption crystals around in dishes. In each room, place one plate of them.

When cooking, make sure the extractor fan is turned on and kept on. Consider installing an extractor fan or making sure your saucepans have lids if you have an older model static trailer.

Make sure the air vents are open and free of obstacles. Closing the air vents holds moisture while also preventing toxic gases from fires and water heaters from escaping.

It is preferable to keep the central heating on at a lower temperature for longer periods of time than to turn it on at full capacity for shorter periods of time.

Bathrooms accumulate more condensation than any other room in the house. If you don’t have an extractor fan, open a window after a shower or bath until the moisture has dissipated.
