Condensation
What is Condensation?
Condensation is the change of water from its
gaseous form (water droplets) into its liquid
form.
Condensation generally occurs
atmosphere when warm air rises, cools and
loses its capacity to hold water vapour. As a
result, excess water vapour condenses to form
droplets.
Condensation normally occurs in the winter
when the motorhome is cold and skylights
windows and doors are opened less often; this
means that moist air cannot escape.
It is important to try and provide ventilation
so that moist air can escape; and to use the
heating responsibly.
How you can prevent condensation
Provide ventilation so that warm air can escape
• Good ventilation of kitchens when washing,
cooking or drying damp cloths is essential,
use the electrical element of the heating
system, particularly if the windows show
in the signs of misting up.
• If it is not possible to use the space heater
open the skylights or windows slightly but
keep the main door closed as much as
possible.
• After showering, keep the bathroom door
closed and the window or the skylight open
long enough for the room to dry.
• Prepare your vehicle for cold conditions.
Your motorhome is fully winterised and has
achieved the BS EN 1646-1:2004+A1:2008
standard climatic testing to Grade 3 standard.
• Make sure that all plumbing pipes, drains,
and water supply appliances within the
motorhome are properly drained.
• Remove the battery from the motorhome to
keep it warmer. If the battery cells were to
freeze this could cause damage to the cells
and decrease the life of the battery.
• Try to cover as much as possible of the
underside of the motorhome to prevent
snow from collecting and packing up
underneath. This will help to prevent
damage to the tyres due to weather
conditions.
• Apply a lubricant to any of the locks to
prevent them from freezing up. This will
allow you access to your motorhome if it is
needed.
