I thought that as we're not using the van in the winter months and it's parked up at home I'd run the heater for a few hours every month or so during the damp winter season. Might just keep damp and mould at bay.

My brother-in-law keeps the heating on while his caravan is parked at home, on a low thermostat setting - but I don't!

Any leaks need dealing with obviously and the caravan takes longer to warm up on the first trip of the year - never had an issue with mould.

Never heated the caravan over winter as it was in store or being used. Just ensured good ventilation and opened everything up, and put furnishings on their sides. Prior to winter all surfaces had a wash down but never used spray polish or the like. Was never affected by mould. But western Scotland could be different given its propensity for wet stuff.
