Caravan and Motor Home Windows, Solve Condensation Problems, Keeping Cool. Caravan Tips and Tricks.

Condensation on the inside of Caravan and Motor Home acrylic windows is a problem many caravan and motor home owners face. However there is a simple solution to this problem. This Caravan Tips and Tricks video will show you how to solve this and other problems associated with ventilation and how to prevent condensation from happening in the future.

People new to caravanning and motor homing, keeping cool while camping is a problem this summer. The high quality acrylic windows fit in most motorhomes and caravans are double glassed to keep us warm, but they sometimes suffer misting on the inside face, if you cause too much temperature difference on both sides of the Perspex faces on hot days. Proper venting of the window stops this from happening and keeps the interior cool. The blinds fit to these windows can cause the problem, if the window is also firmly closed.

Fly screens are a useful device not just for keeping the midges and mosquitoes at bay but for venting the windows.

Did you know, if you have a severe problem with misting with these windows, you can remove the bungs that seal them and on a warm day, the damp air will dry out and the problem is solved.

This is a great video, very helpful indeed. Just to mention if you use a fish tank air pump at least 45 liters of air per minute, connect a hose to it and pop it in one of the holes and let it run, this clears the window very quickly. Also filling the air space with scuba air is great because it's less than 10% moisture.

Hi, newbie here again. We have the same model as yours. I must thank you also for the discovery of the door fly screen - l was about to start looking for one to fit to the caravan when l saw you close yours - l sent hubby out to investigate and to our surprise, there it was! The salesperson never mentioned it so we never dreamed it would be there. l’ m so pleased l watched your video, thank you again 😅

I bought and took delivery of my caravan on the day of lock down. I wasn’t able to do a proper hand over. So I’ve been watching many YouTube videos. And nowhere has anyone pointed out the middle locking section for air circulation. What a brilliant tip 👍🏻 thanks!!

Sadly, I attempted your remedy, pulling the grommets out with a pair of blunt pliers . Well as my grommets must be well 'decayed' by the sun, they both popped 'inside' the window ! :( So I was wondering, do you have any Tips and Tricks for getting the grommets out of a double glazed acrylic caravan unit?

Although you're video was informative. I must state, you would very rarely notice any condensation on days such as on the hot day you have shot your video on. Condensation forms when temperatures fall externally, where both cold and warm air meet such as cold surfaces windows, walls etc .
