New heated trailer icing problems

Deanhamdon · Dec 19, 2012

Just had my new heated in closed trailer out this week ! Was having problems with my doors icing up ! Doesn't seem to be anyplace for the water to go ? Was just wanting to no if guys are making drains ? Or any suggestions ? Next trip I'm going to be more strict on removing snow from sleds I'm sure that will help a bit .

Pick up and drop the rear end of the sled to get some ice out of the tunnel. Crack roof vents to let out moisture when heat is on. There is a thread somewhere about what to put on door seals to prevent them from freezing, I will have to search for it

Spray all the weatherstripping with silicone spray..... Will prevent the doors from sticking

We always put the jack down and get trailer sloped slightly, so all the water drains out the back door overnight.

Do you have venting?
Should have top of the wall near the front on the drivers side and bottom corner near the back on passenger side. It will allow air flow to remove a lot of moisture and gas fumes from the trailer.

Drill a few holes in floor where water accumulates the most, I also bought a small squirell cage type fan from princess auto it sits on floor, crack your vents usually 4 hrs later 4 sleds and floor are dry.. I spray foam insulated my underbelly too that helps alot..
