Condensation Combat Kit

💧 Why Condensation Happens

Warm air meets cold surfaces — and boom, moisture. In a motorhome, it’s most common on windows, walls, and inside cupboards. Left unchecked, it leads to damp smells, mould, and soggy bedding.

🧰 Your Condensation Combat Kit

These are the tools we actually use — no wiring, no fuss.

🧼 Daily Tools

• Microfibre cloths – Quick wipe-downs every morning.
• Window squeegee – For fast removal on large panes.
• Moisture traps – Passive dehumidifiers for cupboards and corners.
• Ventilation – Crack a window or roof vent, even in winter.

🧤 Insulation Helpers

• Thermal blinds or screens – Reduces cold surface contact.
• Silver bubble wrap (DIY screens) – Cheap and effective behind curtains.
• Draft excluders – Keep cold air from creeping in under doors.

🧪 Smart Habits

• Cook with lids on – Reduces steam.
• Wipe down shower/toilet area after use – Don’t let moisture linger.
• Open cupboard doors – Helps air circulate.
• Don’t dry clothes inside – Use site facilities or hang outside if possible.

🧭 Bonus Tips

• Use a rechargeable mini dehumidifier – Great for overnight use in small spaces.
• Avoid overpacking – Airflow matters, especially in storage areas.
• Check under mattresses – Use breathable mats or slats to prevent trapped moisture.
• Lift cushions daily – Especially in rear lounges or fixed beds.
