Very good product, I put this in my caravan last year and not one bit of damp excellent. Will definitely buy another one for my brother who has just bought a caravan This dehumidifier moisture drain has been specifically designed for campervans, caravans and motor homes but can also be used in boats, summer houses, beach huts sheds and conservatories. Although it doesn’t have an adjustable humidity level setting or anything as fancy as that, it does have an automatic shut-off feature that means once the tank is full, it will switch itself off, to avoid overfilling. The Damp Buster helps to reduce moisture in the air by trapping it in the large capacity reservoir after converting it to brine which can be safely disposed of. Damp is often the biggest cause for concern in a van. This Damp Buster from Kampa helps keeps it at bay, which in turn increases your van's shelf life. All that’s required is to fill the Damp Buster's cage with moisture-absorbing crystals, sold separately, and leave it to absorb any water in the air.Made especially for caravans, motor homes and boats but also ideal for summer houses, beach huts, sheds, conservatories, homes. Keeps unwanted moisture and condensation under control. Stop condensation, mildew and mold You also benefit from a 24-hour timer, that means you can set the actual time it will operate. Regardless of the settings you have in place, once the water collection tank is full, it will switch itself off. As the moisture is drawn from the air, it collects on the surface of the crystals and then drips into the bottom of the container. Desiccant dehumidifiers will generally work in areas where there are temperatures as low as 1-degree Celsius and are best for caravans, compared to compressor dehumidifiers that appear to function better in warmer areas because the coils have a much harder time extracting water when the temperature is lower than 10-degrees Celsius.

One of the most common misunderstandings people have regarding caravan dehumidifiers is that because caravans, even in storage, have fresh air constantly streaming inside them they will always be working. Unless you buy a dehumidifier that does not have a cut-off feature, it will act just the same as it does in your home. Obviously, it is up to you to make sure that the windows and doors are properly sealed, but if it is the right kind it should switch off when the pre-decided level of humidity in your caravan has been achieved.Compressor Dehumidifiers – these work in a similar way to fridges and draw in the air which is then passed through a filter and cold coils. The cold coils cause the water present in the air to condense and drip into the reservoir inside. Afterwards, the air is then reheated and blown out again. Desiccant Dehumidifiers – these use a desiccant material, that is materials that absorb water. One of the most commonly used desiccants in these kinds of dehumidifiers is Zeolite, that works similarly to silica gel at absorbing water from the air. A built-in fan helps to direct the air inside the unit and through a series of wheels that hold the desiccant and slowly rotate to dry the air. Moisture collected by the desiccant is extracted when a portion of the wheel that is not used in drying the air is heated. The next item is another that does not look like anything special. That being said, it has been designed and produced by Kampa, a company that many caravanners opt for when buying various accessories for their tourers. This company’s customer service is second to non. Exchanged a tent for a bigger size and this was no problem at all for them. Fast and brilliant service. I would 100% recommend and will be using again. It has a 500ml water tank and is capable of extracting as much as 250ml of water from the air a day. As it uses thermo-electric Peltier tech, it does not need a compressor and offers whisper-quiet functionality that makes it perfect for caravans, particularly if you are using it while staying in yours.
