HRV

[dmegarmstrong]

Has anyone got any experience with the use of a small HRV unit (such as the Lunos EGO). I am thinking this would be a good option for sealed up trailers during the cold climate ends of the season.

Probably massive overkill. Folks use a variety of devices but not to that degree.

I live in a rain forest and dampness is prevalent. I use a couple of reptile heaters and leave a window cracked open. All bedding and cushions stay in place. Never had a problem.

As long as there's some air circulation and a small amount of heat or a dehumifier there's no problem. A sealed up trailer is the worst thing that you can do.

I've heard you say this before. Bah. I live where the wind blows November to March, it's why we have wind farms. I'm not interested in the wind driving dampness into my trailer. Since 2002, I've sealed up the trailer(s) and used passive humidifer Dry-Z-Air. Cushions stay in the trailer(s), but are stored on their narrow sides for air flow. Guess what? No mold in 22 years. YMMV.

I suspect that you have some air circulation whether deliberate or not. I've yet to see an Escape that didn't have some air leakage and especially when the winds blowing. In that case it's a small amount of heat OR a dehumidifier.

You're right, my YMMA is different. 47 years of doing ventilate with a little heat has resulted in mold free
interiors. So Bah back at ya.
