Winter Storage - Blinds and Cushions

Thanks to all of you for your helpful comments.  Great community to belong to.

Like a couple of the others I ve been caravanning for about 35 years and tend to hang onto my vans for about 7 years before changing.

I am of the do very little school. Of course I drain everything down, leave the fridge door wedged open, and I fit winter covers on the fridge vents.  But I never put the blinds down, the springs do weaken, and I never pull the curtains which as far as I am concerned are purely for internal decoration.  In all of those 35 years I have never suffered from faded upholstery or condensation either.  Certainly not damp!   I do visit the van about once a month to check that my investment is in good health,- and in about mid Feb take a book with me to read, and stay in the van for a couple of hours with the heating on high. That has always ensured that when we start again in early March she's in good fettle & ready to role!

I have put moisture traps in my caravan, anyone else use them?

We did for a few weeks unti SIL pointed out that with all the air vents we were probably trying dehumidify the universe..... Last winter was particularly mild & damp and I think a lot of people got caught out with mould - we did on the inside of cupboards. We always leave blinds up and curtains open but take out bedding. This year we haven't as we're away in Yorkshire for New Year ��??�
