Winter moorings (unattended)

[mrsmelly]

Of course the best way is to leave the house unattended for the winter with the central heating on low and live on the boat with the solid fuel stove on 24/7. This was what we did with our house in Cornwall for several years that we used for breaks until we got rid of it, works a treat.

I also recommend the Meaco DD8L dehumidifier. It has a drain tube facility which I drain into the sink and importantly, if you have a power interruption such as a power cut or running out of credit on your berth, when the power comes back on it stays on the same setting. Some, when power fails, need to be switched on again manually.

It is also very economical as, once it gets to the desired humidity setting it goes into 'sleep' mode, and samples the air every every 30 minutes, only switching back on when it senses the humidity has risen to the set level.

It also keeps the cabin surprisingly warm.
