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

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.
