I have to ask, why do you need one ?
Nature abhors imbalance, unless your van is hermitically sealed it's a total waste of energy, the dryer only pulls in more moisture from outside.. the air in a van will always be at the same humidity as the ambient outside, it's doing absolutely no good whatsoever, unless of course your van has a leak in which case it would be better to rectify.

I assumed he was talking about one in his house
Agree with you if its for the van......far to much ventilation/holes in the vans to make them any use at all.

Hi
I just assumed it was for the van .. if for a house thats a different scenario
jim
why's that then Jim......is the house hermetically sealed.
just the same as the van, it will only pull in more moist air from outside.

Having owned a boat for years all I can say it without one I had to remove all the cushions every winter to avoid the dreaded black mildew spots but with one even set low I could leave the soft furnishings in and no spots ever.I have to ask, why do you need one ?

I agree though that having it work flat out is a waste of energy. I tend to use mine for a few days after I have been out on the road just to get any excess moisture out then I leave off .
Hi
I don't imagine there are many drop out vents in a boat ..

How long have you had a boat
Having invested in a dehumidifier I would be interested to hear other user's views on most efficient usage. Is it better to use continuously, daily, timed, etc.? Thanks in anticipation.

Those that said a dehumidifier is useless don't really know what they are talking about.
They must only be used at a temp above,(I think 50 Deg. This temp might be wrong) have to look at my books.
We have used 0ne for years, both in a caravan and M/H, we do not remove any bedding etc at all during the year(except to wash, when clean, is put straight in.)
We have had many people on sites remark how dry and crisp our upholstery etc is.
I have also had much experience in the housing field as an ex domestic Heating engineer.
Don't forget bodies, gas flames,cooking,opening the fridge, washing and boiling a kettle all give of extra moisture, this can all be REMOVED, not just moved by heat.

Hi John
No and correct, but if your living in a house or van you are producing a lot of moisture, cooking, showering, washing etc .. not forgetting what we breathe out, which can be removed by a dehumidifier, but again, not lower than outside humidity..
