Title: Condensation when being stored
Post by: yumpet on April 13, 2014, 07:33:11 PM

Ok guys im banging my head against a wall here, because of where we live it gets cold over night and hot during the day condensation is forming under the camper cover, it has vinyl flooring that presses against the cover so the moisture is contained but even with a car cover over it, it still forms, is there something i can do to stop it? i know i can use a hippo type thing inside the trailer body but what about in the camper pack??

Hi,
  Bubble wrap type plastic giving insulation between the cover and the floor??


Closed cell squares that clip together to make mats??


Can you get it under any sort of cover??


cheers

Struggling with the same problem in the storage bin. Very annoying.

The reason for the condensation, is that there is no waterproof membrane between the camper and the FLOOR.
IF, there was a plastic water proof membrane placed under the concrete floor, you wouldn't have this problem.
So, it doesn't matter what you place on top of the camper, the problem is coming from the bottom.
Try putting a tarp underneath for a while, then check the difference.
Of course placing a tarp underneath of you store it outside, will not solve your problem.
