Moisture and Mould Protection
Condensation:
Condensation is caused by a difference in ambient temperature and a surface creating a dew point. If the surface
is sufciently colder than the ambient temperature and there is a degree of humidity, condensation will form on the
surface. The higher the humidity and wider the difference in temperature the more dew/condensation will occur.
The only means of stopping it is good ventilation, a heater or running air conditioning. When condensation occurs
the caravan should be thoroughly aired and dried to protect nishes and avoid mould. This is a normal occurrence in
caravans.
Protecting from Mould
Mould is very difcult to clean once a porous surface is affected.
There are several ways you can prevent the occurrence of mould
on your caravan. Never leave your camper packed away wet. If you
must leave a campsite with wet canvas or a damp interior, be sure to
open and dry out your tent thoroughly at the very rst opportunity
when you get home. Mould can develop in just a couple of days
so don’t take the risk. When packing up dry, it is important to check under the mattress that there is no build-up
of condensation overnight. Body heat on a mattress can create enough temperature difference with the exterior
for moisture to form under it. If left unchecked this can cause mould when your caravan is stored. An antibacterial
mould killer such as Glen20 is recommended as a mould deterrent to be sprayed through the caravan prior to
storage or on canvas during prolonged exposure to damp conditions.
Protecting Your Investment
Stone Stomper
This style of product will dampen stones and keep them low to avoid damaging your trailer when driving off road.
The Stone Stomper will also greatly protect the rear window on wagon style 4WD’s and SUV’s as rocks may
ricochet off the trailer stone guard and strike the rear window or the back of the vehicle.
