CONDENSATION 👳👳👳
« on: January 20, 2014, 02:30:40 pm »
Hi everyone does anyone have any good ideas on condensation. Now this van as a full bulk head fitted the roof in the back is soooooo wet I keep getting me head wet when I'm reeling in the hose. Does anyone else have this problem and how to solve it, not sure if I get vents fitted would work ? Thanks for any advice in advance. 👳👳👳👀👀👀

hi im in the process of insulating my van because of the same problem. im going to use loft insulation and then silver foil bubble wrap, am going to use insulation hangers to attach to roof, will be doing the walls aswell. hope to have it done by the weekend. my brother in law done it to his van and it seems to have done the trick.

Think every van does this without a system in the back doesn't it? my last van had water on the roof even though there was no tank in the back.

Thanks for info Tony won't the insulation go soggy.
I had a Scudo before and it didn't have the steel bulkhead I don't think there was water in the back dripping. 👳👳👳

My dad showed me his van and yeah its got bad drips on the inside, i dont suffer with that at all.

They i though ahhhhhhhhar i know why!

I have a read load mat in mine, i rarely get any condensation. But before i had it fitted, yeah i used to get it all the time.

The floor must get really really cold?

Basically a bit plastic rubber matt.

My dad said it would make the van sweat, but i think its done the opposite.

TBH i only have a 350 tank, so that helps as well :)

Carry a few old towels, throw them over your pole brush and dry
the roof.

Try working with the van doors open when you can, if it's safe so as it gets the ventilation it needs. Perhaps it is like the rooms at home - they say you should regularly leave the windows open so as to air them, keeps condensation down.

Transit Connect...I've recently put cat litter in an oven tray and put it in on the dashboard and another in the rear of the van (wooden bulkhead) and it worked fine. Haven't done it for the last few days (stayed round the girlfriends house) so no cat litter and it's been condensation everywhere! Need to try some more to see if it works...
