Evening all

Dried the van off today and put me cover on for the first time , it came with the van and yes its also waxed it gleams! I just want to stop the heavy rain sitting on/inside it.

Its my first van and only had her two weeks so first winter of ownership

Noticed the windows misting slightly , just wondering would it be of any benefit to fit the silver screens that I have whilst its parked up ? My Dad has said he will get me the outside silver screen aswell for front windows and screen , any views on these?

Do I need to put the heating on inside the van to warm it through occasionally? or plug me lead in and run a little heater

Just thought id get a few questions answered from the pros , thanks for any replies

the outside thermal wraps will stop misting on the windows, the inside ones will do nothing on that front. Leaving the windows cracked open a bit will help with damp as well. Best option is to drive it though..

ok nice one , I might just crack the windows then , also them packs of crystal damp absorbent thingy's in , and I will get her out going to try keep it to the fair weather usage over the winter tho

The battery is what might give in if you don't drive the van regularly, so it might be work connecting a "trickle charger" if you won't be driving it for a few weeks... Otherwise drive it and have fun.

I have a small dehumidifier that I put on sometimes.

Bit excessive, but why not?

yes.. trying to dry out this planets atmosphere is futile.

As someone else said, get out and use it

Get yourself set up as a Member of the club (not just a forum user - link at top of page, it is FREE) and have a look at the camping events planned by club members in December. The weather/seasons only dictate what time it gets dark/light, 80-90 doesn't stop camping (that should probably say drinking)
