This issue is compounded by warm moist air
being generated from normal breathing.
Condensation will also form in cold areas where
air movement and ventilation is restricted (e.g.
cupuboards, wardrobes, under beds, etc.)
What is important
It is important to provide ventilation and air flow,
so that warm moist air can escape, or
be externally cooled, and to use the heating
reasonably by not making the campervan too
warm such that people perspire, as this will only
serve to generate more moist air and therefore
more condensation.
However, in particularly cold periods, where
the external ambient temperatures are low,
condensation may still form on external walls as
the insulation levels may well not be thermally
able to cope with the difference between the
internal and external temperatures.
How can you prevent condensation
Provide ventilation so that moist air can
escape.
a. Good ventilation of the vehicle when cooking
or when drying clothes, footwear or pets
is essential. Observe when windows begin
to show signs of misting and increase
ventilation by opening a window slightly by
1cm or opening a roof vent, as these will
help, but keep the habitation door closed as
much as possible to retain heat.
b. If drying damp clothes or towels, open a
window to ventilate the area and allow the
moist air to escape.
c. Try to make sure that the campervan is
partially heated. It can take a long time for a
cold campervan to warm up, so it is better to
have a small amount of heat for a long period
than a lot of heat for a short time.
d. Fixed ventilation is provided in the vehicle,
specifically through high level vents within
the skylights and low level vents through the
floor, it is important not to block these.
e. Electrical heating is dryer than gas heating,
and introduces less moisture into the
atmosphere. Do not use additional portable
paraffin or flue-less gas heaters at all.
f. If left unoccupied and unheated for long
periods of time the temperatures can soak
down thermally into the entire product and
become very cold. Whenever possible, put
the heating on at a low level before use by
pre heating in cold weather.
g. Even with reasonable ventilation it is likely
if the temperature is less than 5oC and the
humidity is high that condensation will occur.
Ideally the temperature should be kept about
20oC when occupied.
Mould Growth
Any sign of mould growth is an indication of
the presence of moisture and if caused by
condensation gives warning that heating or
ventilation may require improving.
New vehicles
New products take a long time before they are
fully ‘dried out’ because of the moisture in the
materials used during manufacture. While this
is happening extra heat and ventilation will be
required.
10.4 Changing Exterior Bulbs
ALWAYS REPLACE LIKE FOR LIKE

Rear Road Light Clusters
Bulb access is from the rear of the cluster.
Please see the Ford handbook for specific
details of the clusters and individual lights
contained within them.
The rear road light clusters are secured to the
rear of the campervan via nuts located on the
rear of the cluster. To access these fixing nuts,
internal covers must be removed.
Access points are covered. Nearside will be
covered by a panel a Philips screw driver will be
required to gain access.
The Off side Lights are accessed through the
rear Gas bottle box through an access panel
