Hello to everyone, we took the jayco away for a weekend and had a bit of dew the first night. the next day I pulled the bag bed ends out and just draped them over and held them down with a few bungy straps. I did not bother about the poles, as it turned out we had no more dew, would this method have worked or do you need to put the poles out to support it off the bed canvas. regards to all who answer wmarsb
