How do I keep dust out of my van?

The best solution is positive air pressure inside the camper or van, to prevent dust from sucking inside, but doing that with an open, forward-facing vent is just as likely to ingest dust, every time you drive through an oncoming traffic dust cloud. Other unwelcome visitors can also hop on board.

Why are campers so dusty?

Due to gravel and dirt roads, campgrounds are often very dusty. And every time you open your RV’s door or windows, the dust makes its way into your RV. It settles on beds, countertops, floors, in cabinets, and all over.

How does a dust reduction system work?

HOW DOES IT WORK? When the caravan is in motion, the air in the caravan is pressurised and the DRS allows the clean air to flow into the caravan and the airflow pushes out the airborne dust from other spaces and reduces additional dust from entering.

How do you stop dust in a canopy?

Keep all your windows and doors closed and turn your aircon/heat up night and high (fan speed) without re-circulation on. This will force fresh air into your vehicle ensuring positive pressure inside the vehicle which will stop the dust being sucked in.

Can you use toilet bowl cleaner in a camper?

The general consensus, based on recommendations from most RV toilet manufacturers, is that you should avoid the use of harsh or abrasive cleaners. That’s because they want to be sure these products don’t damage the bowl, the toilet’s blade valve and seal, and/or the black water tank.

Is My RV making me sick?

Do caravan scuppers work?

Scupper vents are a popular method to reduce dust ingress into caravans and other RVs. They’re designed to scoop in air under pressure as you travel forward. This raises the interior pressure to a state of positive pressure, preventing dust from entering the rig from small gaps when travelling on dirt roads.

How do you keep dust from getting into Ute and canopy?
