i know there's a host of knowledgeable people regularly peruse these pages and I'm hoping one of you can tell me the ideal humidity level inside a caravan during storage.
I'm fortunate that I am able to store my caravan at home and I went inside the other week and found the bathroom door and fridge door (both left open) covered in mould. My first thought was that there must be water getting in somewhere but having damp found over the last three services I already have a damp meter and all checked out around 14% so I put it down to the extremely wet weather we've had for such a long time.
I washed the bathroom door off but left the fridge and purchased a de-humidifier and this has now been running for about a week. It has 2 fan speeds and I've been running it on the slow speed, plus it has a regulator, which works a bit like a thermostat but regulates humidity not temperature, which has been around half way. So far it's collected about 1 ltr of water and I'm happy to say the mould has gone although I'll still be washing it down.
I've got a humidity meter coming in a day or two and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what the maximum humidity % is that I should be looking for.
