Heating for winter storage

Hello and welcome.

There is a recent thread on here, can't find it at the mo 😤 but will keep looking, about this very subject. 

I believe concensus was it's a waste, as its on your drive you can check and air on nice sunny days. Lots of gaps, not always good insulation and warm air holds more moisture, I think summed up the comments.

We stored away from home, never heated but aired as and when.

Using either the van's own heater or a small oil filled radiator is an option. You only need to take the chill off but it’s personal choice really and many people don't bother. The only year we had mould form was the year we used the heating!

I'd not bother with any form of dehumidifier though as the van will have several ventilation holes and you will end up attempting to dehumidify the big wide world! Opening the van on milder days will help keep the air circulating.

Ventilation, ventilation, ventilation is the key.

Basically as above. Don't bother with heating, crack a couple of windows open if you can, if not open the van up every so often. Open cupboard doors and remove upholstery if you can.

Thanks all, this is all great stuff - I have been airing the van on nicer days so will continue.

We have always stored our caravans without any form of heating during storage for many years with no problems at all.
