Condensation


HI, we have a cub Supervan Drover and on these chilly nights we get condensation on the roof.  We were thinking of getting a solar blanket to help.  Has anyone had this problem and solved it.

Yes I have had a bit of an issue in the cold country. I bought those absorption crystals just from a $2 shop. I put them around the van and they worked very well. They are in packs of 2 I think. Just take out of the plastic wrap and pop them on top of a cupboard or something. Good luck.

Yes, we have lines going down an across where the frame is. Our van is metal frame. Rock salt works just a well.

You have to have ventillation somewhere to keep the air moving around the van. I used to have major internal "rain" in my camp bed, and no amount of ventillation stopped it.
My caravan and motorhome don't get condensation at all.
You'll just have to stop breathing so heavy. LOL
