Traveling in the winter camper van is very fun, but the problem is dryness! I use the FF heater all the time, so the air dries surprisingly well. As a result, there are many problems, such as throat pain and severe dry skin in children. So I brought in an ultrasonic humidifier with a 2L upper water supply type electrolyzed water generation function.

What is AND DECO's "2L Upper Water Supply Type Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function"?
The "2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function" has arrived. It came in a simple cardboard box.
Ultrasonic humidifier that exerts high sterilization power with alkaline electrolyzed water
Anyone who drives a camper van would have a common problem: the heat of summer and the dryness of winter. Every year, I also suffer from severe dryness in my camper van while I sleep at night.
My throat is getting worse, and my 4-year-old son has dry skin and is becoming Kaikai. If you buy a camper van because you want to go out with your kids, but your kids start to hate camper vans, it's counterproductive.
So I take some kind of dryness prevention every year, but this year I decided to take the plunge and use a home humidifier in a camper van. However, humidifiers with large capacity and easy water spills are out of the question. However, household humidifiers, which are generally intended to be used in places that do not shake, are basically easy to spill water.
It can be divided into four parts: the tank, main body, lid, and AC adapter. This is scary because water will spill if you use it in a camper van.
Therefore, I was looking for a simple and small item that could hold each part off with Velcro from a 100 yen shop, and found AND DECO's "2L Upper Water Supply Type Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function" (actual price: around 10,000 yen including tax).
It is compact in diameter and 30.6cm tall, and the tank capacity is not very large at 2L, and the maximum humidification amount is 300ml/h. The maximum area is 8 tatami mats, and it can be used for 8 tatami mats in prefabricated homes, so it can be said that it has sufficient humidification power for use in a camper van.
The lid of the "2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function." This one is also connected to the tank with the level of coupling that is almost on the vehicle.
The decisive factor is that it is an ultrasonic humidifier with an electrolyzed water generation function that automatically generates alkaline electrolyzed water and disinfects it. This is said to overcome the weaknesses of ultrasonic humidifiers, which are said to be relatively prone to bacteria and other substances.
As a child-first home, the fact that the humidifier has a sterilization function is a big advantage. I actually tried using the "2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function" in a camper van.

I installed an ultrasonic humidifier with 2L upper water supply type electrolyzed water generation function.
I thought about modifying it in case it would fall while driving...
A tank with a full capacity of 2L. I didn't think that the balance between the capacity of this tank and the maximum humidification amount would have a major impact on ease of use in a camper van.
When choosing a humidifier to use in a camper van, I looked for one that had energy savings, had a large humidification power, small tank capacity, and had a sterilization function. Normally, I would look for one that has energy savings, has a large humidification force, a large tank capacity, and has a sterilization function, but I looked for one that had a small tank capacity.
The reason is that if a humidifier with a large tank capacity is filled with water, the damage will be greater if the child collapses or collapses due to shaking while driving in a camper van.
The main body of the "2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function" that includes an ultrasonic generator. This part also needs to be easily opened for maintenance.
Furthermore, when energy-saving and strong humidification power is achieved, the steam-type system consumes too much power, and the vaporization-type system is worried about the humidification power in a short period of time, so the ultrasonic system is almost the only option. The "2L Upper Water Supply Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function" was chosen based on the standard of sterilization, with a small tank capacity and compactness.
However, when I actually installed it, as I knew from the beginning, the tank part was placed on top of the main unit, and the lid on top of it was placed lightly on to a certain extent, and once it collapsed, each part would fall apart and all the water would spill. It is unlikely that it will withstand vibrations when driving a camper van.
It also comes with an aroma tray that can be used by soaking aroma oil. It can also be used for relaxing time.
So I decided to secure the lid, tank, tank and main unit with adhesive Velcro sold at 100 yen shops, so that even if it collapses, the parts would not fall apart, and the water would be minimal.
However, when you attach Velcro or something, the highly decorative "2L Upper Water Supply Type Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function" looks quite bad. So I first tried using it in a camper van and saw how much humidity could be increased.
I actually tried using an ultrasonic humidifier with 2L upper water supply type electrolyzed water generation function in a camper van.
A tank that can be filled with 2L of water when full. By adjusting the amount of water you put in and the strength of humidification, you can also adjust the timing when the water will run out. But it's a bit troublesome.
The humidity inside the car went from 30% to nearly 50%, and what was even more surprising was...
Most people are probably thinking of installing a humidifier in their camper van, and most people are planning to use a humidifier when they have their camper van parked at an auto campsite or roadside station, or when they are relaxing or sleeping in the camper van.
Humidifying a warm room during winter driving will cause the windshield and other parts to fog, so humidifying while driving is dangerous. Naturally, I also want to stop the camper van at my destination, have dinner, and humidify the inside of the camper van the time until I wake up the next morning.
I think I'll sleep about 6-7 hours. If you fill up the humidifier before going to bed and the water is running out when you wake up in the morning, even if you forget to clean the humidifier afterwards, the water won't spill out.
Indoors in a winter camper van with FF heater on and no humidifier. Outside is around subzero. The humidity is only about 30%, so it seems that viruses and other activities will also become more active.
The tank capacity of the "2L Upper Water Supply Type Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function" is 2L, and the humidification power at high humidification is 300ml/h, and the theoretical value should be gone in about 6.5 hours. This means you don't have to throw away any remaining water, making it quite easy.
With this in mind, we strongly operated a "2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function" in our camper van, which had a humidity of about 30% and a room temperature of about 20 degrees. The humidification amount is 300ml/h. When you turn on the switch, mist will rise from the "2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function."
It is said that the humidity for humans to be comfortable is around 40-60% and 50%, but my son has a lot of dry skin at home so I manage the humidity at around 60%. Therefore, I thought it would be ideal for camper vans to have a "2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function" to increase humidity to nearly 60%.
A "2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function" located behind the passenger seat. It is recommended to place it at a slightly higher position so that the mist does not fall on the floor and get dirty.
In reality, the humidity inside the camper van, which was about 30% until the humidifier was turned on, increased to nearly 40% over an hour, over an hour, and then increased to around 45-50% over an hour, then plateaued, and after about 6.5 hours, the water ran out and stopped operating. After that, the humidity reached about 40% in about 30 minutes, and then returned to about 30% over a few more hours.
From the results, although the humidity does not rise to the ideal 60%, it was found that the humidity can be humidified up to around 50%, which is comfortable enough to be humidified with just the power of a 2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function.
It's almost full. Fill the water to a level slightly above the recommended water level. If you drive a camper in this state, water will definitely spill.
Moreover, if you decide where to stay for the day, turn on the humidifier when you have stopped the camper van, eat and bath, and then leave the "2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function" full before going to bed, the water will automatically stop running after 6.5 hours. It is very convenient as it will maintain humidity of 40% or more until 7 hours after about 30 minutes.
Please be aware that if you experiment several times, there will be a difference in the time it takes for all the full water to disappear depending on the temperature and humidity of the day.
If you dry the towels and laundry used in the bath in the room of your camper van, the humidity will increase, making it even more comfortable in reality. Moreover, the tank is empty when you depart the next day, so there is no need to worry about water spilling. It feels pretty good.
Summary: "2L Upper Water Supply Type Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function" is perfect for a variety of things
When set to strong humidification. This gives a humidification power of 300ml/h. This increased humidity, which was about 30%, to around 50% in about 2 hours.
It was better than I expected for my camper van lifecycle.
Before actually introducing it, I thought I had no choice but to modify AND DECO's "2L Upper Water Supply Type Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function" with Velcro, but the author's lifecycle of camper van goes well with the "2L Upper Water Supply Type Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function" and I have been using it as is now unmodified. This was surprising.
Also, the electricity consumption in a camper van is a concern, but in strong operation it consumes around 21W, so it requires about 150Wh of electricity to use it for 7 hours. This point should also be taken into consideration.
If you have stopped your camper van at your destination or accommodation, enjoyed leisure, hot springs, baths, meals, etc. and sleep for around 7 hours, the "2L Upper Water Supply Ultrasonic Humidifier with Electrolyzed Water Generation Function" will fit the life cycle of your camper van.
It depends on the size and conditions of the camper van, but thanks to the "2L upper water supply type ultrasonic humidifier with electrolyzed water generation function," I believe that for the time being, my camper van has a focus on the winter drying problem. I'm quite happy.
