Title: How about these for van heating
Post by: M.Acorn on December 14, 2012, 02:14:17 pm

I bring all my gear inside, but I know there are some folks who can't do that.
How do you think these would cope ? maybe place one under machine.
Intend to insulate my van come spring, will that stop / reduce condensation ? Gets pretty wet in there dripping off the inside of the roof

looks like that would do the trick, I don't have a drive, what I do is empty all lines/tools/ machine of water
no problems so far.  8)

Bit late leaving it till then Mark, why not get it done now?  I'm hoping to do mine in the next couple of weeks so will hope to benefit from it from January onward's.

Suppose I could, I don't keep anything in it over night, it's just trying to stop the condensation really.
Would need to stick my dehumidifier in there to dry it out first I think

Van is empty at night.

I put an oil filled rad (1.5kw) in the morning to keep it nice and toastie.

Picking up my other new van day before Christmas so got time to sort it out before the mad rush if it happens...

I have always had foam backed carpet on floor & sides, covering ply lining ........ seems to deal with condensation !!

I do have foil covered bubble wrap insulation glued to roof interior and then I run cable from outdoor plug, for the oil filled radiator ..... this stops anything freezing up  ;)
