SolarVenti - damp proof Glider Trailers

damp proof Glider Trailers

Glider trailers, especially at clubs where no mains power is available, can present a major problem. During the winter months, the valuable contents seem to attract moisture and condensation and can even develop mildews and mold growths. Even worse, the gel coating on modern gliders can blister, leading to an expensive refinishing job. The smallest SolarVenti unit, the SV2 (see picture) can readily be mounted on most glider trailers for overwintering, and removed when in use during the spring, summer and autumn. Every time the sun shines, the unit pushes a large volume (20m³ per hour) of warmed, dry air through the trailer, forcing out any traces of damp or condensation. The SV2 raises the incoming air temperature by up to 12C, so even when there is a ground frost, the unit is pushing warmed dry air through the trailer protecting your glider from the ravages of damp and condensation. We have found out that some glider trailers have long thin air vents at one or more points on their underside. If you have a trailer such as this, we recommend that you cover over the vents with a thick layer of foam rubber. This acts as a primitive one-way valve that stops damp air from blowing back into the trailer on wet weather days. Please note that because there is no standard design of trailer, we are unable to offer any standard mountings - you may have to design and make your own if the standard ones provided do not suffice.
