Moisture and Mould Protection
Condensation:
Condensation is cause by a difference in ambient temperature and a surface. If the surface is sufficiently colder than
the ambient temperature and there is a degree of humidity, condensation will form on the surface. The only means of
stopping it is good ventilation, a heater or running air conditioning. When condensation occurs the Caravan should
be thoroughly aired and dried to protect finishes and avoid mould.
Protecting from Mould
Mould is very difficult to clean once a porous surface is affected. There are several ways you can prevent the
occurrence of mould on your caravan. Never leave your Caravan packed away wet. If you must leave a campsite with
wet canvas or a damn interior, be sure to open and dry out your tent thoroughly at the very first opportunity when
you get home. Mould can develop in just a couple of days so don’t take the risk.
When packing up dry, it is important to check under the mattress
that there is no build-up of condensation overnight. Body heat
on a mattress can create enough temperature difference with
the exterior for moisture to form under it. If left unchecked this
can cause mould when your caravan is stored. An antibacterial
mould killer such as Glen20 is recommended as a mould
deterrent to be sprayed through the caravan prior to storage or
on canvas during prolonged exposure to damp conditions.
