Frost Protection / General Heating - Oil Filled Rad?

[NewForestKnight]

We have an older (T5 / 2008) Cali which is not used so much in winter, maybe once a fortnight or less at times. I keep it on EHU to keep things topped up, but it does get quite a bit of condensation inside the windscreen particularly with the freeze/mild cycles we've been getting.

Was thinking of getting a small oil filled radiator to keep on frost protection setting generally to help with condensation and avoid freezing van bits, but also to use for overnight heating if we're away and its cooler - rather than a fan heater which can be noisy.

Has anyone tried this, and has any recommendations? Is the frost protection likely to work and reduce condensation? Any thoughts welcome!

If we are staying at site with electric hookup, we use a small oil filled rad. This keeps the van lovely and toasty when camping in the cold (-4 over a previous new-year stay) and despite the heat escaping when the door is opened, it does come back up to temperature reasonably quickly.

For using to keep the condensation down, the heat option is a good one, but you will need some air flow to allow the moisture to find a way out of the van. If you have condensation causing problems when not staying in the van, that would suggest some moisture sitting in the van itself (a problem I have with the car). Would be better to find the cause and fix that, and dry out the inherent damp issue first.
