Dehumidifing a Land Rover

[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?

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

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?

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.

Just a good 24 hours on a mains one should do the job, just have to keep coming out to empty the bottle I imagine being that damp

Unforunately buying a garage to do it in, is getting a tad on the expensive side.

Drum, the seat rails do come off quite easily, but whether the carpet would then be loose or not I don't know. Might be worth a try. All the seat rail screws have captive nuts, just whip the screws out and the whole frame and rails come out.

is there any point with a landy? they all leak anyway so it will be wet again the first time it rains :lol:

Nah I've had a good look, it would appear to be "stuck down" in some places.

I accept that it's a Landy, and the way I use it, it is going to get wet, and muddy. However I that's doesn't mean that I'm going to just let it rot just yet.

all the more reason for getting it off then :-)

It's only a Land Rover so it can only be a bit of glue.

good tip

buy some disposabe nappies
turn them inside out
place all around the car
leave it in the sun

disposable nappies are just big bags of silica gel so works a treat

used it many times myself

Just had a thought, if you know a firm that uses silical gel for keeping things dry, try to scrounge a load of the bags off them

indeed a cunning plan but disposable nappies are a lot easier to source and theyre basicaly the same thing
