    Condensation in LED headlights

    After a few weeks of the van sitting unused on the driveway, I noticed today that there's condensation on the inside of both my factory-fitted LED headlights. The van was new in Jan 2023, so it's just over a year old. I'm presuming the lights are a sealed unit, so this won't be easily resolved...

    Thermal screens

    Has anyone got any particular recommendation for thermal screens for a T5.1 Shuttle? Or are they all pretty much the same? I had some for my previous van and the suckers were next to useless, leading to endless problems keeping them in place. I’d rather avoid a repeat of that so good quality...

    New to site, condensation issues. Which pop top cover to buy

    Hi, new Transporter 6.1, not a California. Have an external windscreen cover, works well on front 3 windows. Not sure what thermal blinds for other windows to get. Vehicle carpet covers metal on other windows except tailgate. Was looking at Brandrup, would these fix on, not keen on sucker idea...

    Ice removal

    Bit of an odd question from someone that has been driving for nearly 40 years - how do you remove ice from the windows before driving off in the morning? Recently, I noticed on SWMBOs car, in low autumn/winter sun, it has several deep scratches in the glass I assume from scraping ice that has...

    DIY kitchen extractor fan --How I done it --

    I tend to use my van for 2-3 days at a time each week, 365 days a year and this time of year condensation is a real issue, especially when cooking on propane which releases moisture as well as any steam from cooking. So I've been looking into active ventilation and was inspired by @TrevorK 's...

    Pop top Condensation on roof

    Hi all, I have recently got a pop top installed, a first for myself. It’s a fibreglass with black gel coat. I collected it yesterday, and had a good play with it putting it up and down several times. And finished my play session packing it away and putting it down. I went out to the van last...

    Idea forming: Using an Arduino Microcontroller and sensors to *try* and combat condensation

    Hi. I work in creative tech and have an engineering degree. I’m currently planning my second conversion, and am determined to have a crack at a smart system to better control condensation. There’s a very affordable system called Arduino - a small microprocessor that you can connect a wide range...

    Condensation!

    Does anyone find there is a need for a "dehumidifier " when using their van overnight, even if it is one of those pots with silicone crystal things to take moisture out of the atmosphere in the vehicle. Just wondered. I suppose it depends on where you are camping as to whether you can leave a...

    Screen - Excessive moisture

    Hi all, I've noticed again this winter as the temperature drops away over night, the inner windscreen has a fair amount of moisture - enough to have to use a 'T' style squeegy and a paper towel to remove the excess before driving. I'm thinking there must be moisture within the van somewhere in...

    Review: Aldi Midi Dehumidifier £29

    [I know this is probably in the wrong place, but I cant find a section for 'review a product' ] If your camper is mostly parked up over the 'British rainy season' then you've probably been worried about damp, especially if you leave your bedding in there. At home, we flood easily, and I have...
