condensation

Hello everyone I have recently had my t6.1 upgraded from Leighton with their headlight kit. Today I noticed some condensate , is this an issue or can it happen on new lamps ?

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...

Hi All, I have a condensation problem with the tailgate. This has just happened the last twice that I have been away in the camper, it’s been fine up to last month which coincided with fitting the kitchen furniture. When I open the tailgate the collected water pours from the two bottom corner...

Do I need an opening window immediately above the gas hob burner,its a SWB and will have sliders behind the driver seat and on the sliding door so ventilation will be close but was planning on fixed windows on the rear side quarters where the hob will sit.Also anybody used the Just Campers...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Has anyone solved the problem of window condensation while using campervan? I am considering a small dc dehumidifier but concerned by current consumption.

Please be gentle as I’m a relatively new T6 owner and I love her We bought our van from a company who had converted transits into transporters. I noticed over the winter that the inside of the windscreen had terrible condensation and can freeze inside. I’m just wondering if anyone has any tips...

Hi folks, seem to be having an issue with quite bad condensation on the inside of the roof of our shuttle. Only noticed it after a drip came from overhead trim and removing that I noticed the roof was wet. Just had the rear Aircon controls blow and on removal it was the same, water dripping...

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...

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...

Since doing the electrics I’ve been wiping condensation off my windows everytime I’ve been getting in, (seems to be getting better slowly) I presume this is due to me working in cold weather at night over several weeks with doors open etc.. would putting the heater in and leaving the...

As above, can any body reccomend one Cheers Andy

Just noticed I've got a fogged up os fog light. How do i get rid and stop it happening again?.:mad:

[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...

Hi all , now the cold weather has set in I've noticed that both my head lights are show signs of condensation . I know it will disappear when it warms up but should it happen in the first place ? Many thing have been tampered with on the van but haven't touched the lights. ( should have bought...
