Does anyone have any experience of the use of these? Are they any good and what about their working life? I need to improve the ventilation especially when cooking. One opening window is adjacent to the cooker and useless when raining.Any ideas please?

I don't think they have the power to overcome cooking condensation..... they very gently change the air in the cabin.

There are a few on the market, but they do have a limited lifespan.... largely I guess from working all day everyday.

They won't help with cooking condensation but they do help with damp when the boat is left for long periods, I have 2 on Leo and will be fitting a couple to the new toy.

Did read something about needing the type that have a battery in so will run at night it helps with the condensation build up with the temperature change, could always look at the big mushroom vents that caravans have, mines got one directly above cooker seems to work?
