I think it would be easier to spray the tools with wd40 bud

Ive got an electric van installed for ventilation.  Previous owner had it fitted, but i just leave the vents open on it.

This might sound stupid, but fill a sock with cat litter, tie the end, to stop it spilling out. It’ll absorb atmospheric moisture.

Fit one of these.

Fix every single leak in the van. One drop a minute is just over half a pint of water loose in your van per day.

If your pole hoses drain inside the van, put a bucket int he right spot.

Does the water in your tank not partly  cause condensation?
