I am brand new to caravaning and read about the condensation problems and was wondering if it is safe to use a mini de-humidifier in a caravan. You can buy them at woolys for about £40.

Any advise

No reason why not.

Do you mean while you are using it or while you are not?

Adequate heating and ventilation should mean you would not have a problem.  Are you getting condensation in a specific area?   Downsides to a dehumidifier are the space it takes up and the noise it makes.

The himidifier is only a little bigger than 2 bags of sugar and a lot lighter. I have not used the van yet I am just thinking ahead.

Is this an electric one?   Sorry!  I am not familiar with it.   My daughter uses an electric dehumidifier in her flat, it is amazing how much water it collects!

hi yes it is a electric plugin one, i run mine by day, never by night. there are lots of the bigger size ones out for the house to they are fantastic, we use ours when we have had a shower does a great job inside my house, but my baby one is just for the caravan.

Sorry know nothing about these but why would you need one in a caravan? Caravans are well ventilated anyway.
