Condensation

Post by quinnw » Tue Sep 18, 2007 7:24 pm

At night, water is condensing on the inside windows. Any idea on how to reduce / eliminate? Apart from leave a window open...

Thanks

If you use your aircon, that acts as a de humidifier and may help,
especialy if it is set to recirculate setting for some of the time.

I assume you mean that you get condensation when you sleep in the bongo. Silver screens help to reduce the effect by removing the amout of cold surface. but the best thing is as you mention, leave the windows cracked open slightly.

Mine condenses very heavily on its own without any help from me!! Luckily I have front window wind deflectors so I leave the windows open 3 inchesand this stops the problem.

We have wind deflectors, so do the same as Colin, leave windows open slightly. Never have a problem with condensation. :)

There was a warning some time ago about condensation dripping down the inside of the windscreen and causing electrical problems. We use a tea-towel to catch water as it drips down.
