Dehumidifing a Land Rover

(1/5) > >>

drum:
Anybody know of an easy way to dehumidify a Land Rover. I've removed all the removable carpets out of the 110, but some of the others, like around seat boxes, are soaking. In summer I just leave the doors open for the afternoon, but in winter that's not really an option. And when you do shut the door, they're trapped between the door and the seat box.

Anybody any ideas?

Sharpshooter:
Sounds obvious. But try a Dehumidifier like you use in a conservatory.. :D

davidlandy:
leave all of the carpets out and get rubber mats for off road use

drum:
Unfortunately not all the carpets come out  :?

Anybody know if you can get 12v Dehumidifiers? If not I'll have to get an inverter aswell. Do they use much power?

Brian the Sn@il:
using a de hum, you also need heat. As a dehum can only take water out of the air if it is warm to start with.
A de hum works by air going through a Colder coil than the ambient air, thus the are condensates on the cooling coil.

If the air going through the cooling coil is allredy cold, very little if any condensation forms.

So the only way is to put it in the garage warm the garage to at least 20 degrees and use a de hum to take out the moisture from the air.
