Anyone else use roof vents?

[Dave B]

So just had to order a new coil for my pressure washer as it's so damp in my van due to wfp also that the old one has gone all rusty and knackered.

Ordered 2 spinning roof vents.

Anyone else use them?

Apparently because I have a newish van (5 years old) the seals are good so no air flow like in an older van with bad seals etc so the damp can't get out.

I think mate when you have a WFP stystem in the van damp will allways be an issue, I have one of those Chinese air heaters in the back of mine which sorts any dampness out within a few mins- just open the back doors to release the warm air and its good as gold for a long while everything is so dry after five mins or so with the heater running and I must admit its the best thing I've ever bought for the van barring my dvd player in the caband the heated seats?

About a month ago I ripped out of my Citroen Nemo van nearly all of the plywood, it was rotten due to damp. Not having it in the van has helped a lot with the damp issues. The wood was holding a lot moisture. In the summer it was not a problem.

I think I will get the low profile one for mine as I don't use the roof rack much.

Rather than having ply lining in my vans I have a plastic liner same as plywood but white plastic , it’s very good wipes clean , and doesn’t hold water very good investment , it’s also a lot lighter in weight to .
