So, now that I have fitted my Webasto Evo 4 and have the swanky digital timer/programmer head unit, and looking at the boat being alongside for the winter - I'm having a think whether to utilise the 7 day timer functionality or to simply use my Maeco as I have done every other winter.
I have 240V on the pontoon so am not concerned about batteries, but was wondering if running the Webasto on circulation mode (ie: not heated) a couple times a week would be as effective as the dehumidifier. Saves a bit on power tokens too. Quite happy that my installation isnt going to burst into flames as I've been very diligent about routes and best practices.
Perhaps a combination of a couple of hours of heating with a couple of days of a couple of hours of ventilation mode? I have vents in every cabin and a roof mounted (open) vent.
My thinking is that if the power goes out, it will reset the Maeco but the Websasto being on the 12V wont mind. Solar panels should assist a bit of recharge until the power comes back.
Or am I overthinking as usual?
