condensation

[Dee4j]

I know the answer is out there somewhere but I can't find it so sorry for posting it again.

we took our Hybrid out on its maiden voyage this weekend to San Diego and it was wonderfull. the only problem is condensation on the bunkends.

so again...looking to the great guru's of PUT for advice. If I put the solar bunkend covers on, would it still happen? the last night we had both vents open and a window cracked..any suggestions would be great



thanks

On our trip, we found some different ways to combat this.

1.  Unzip the end canvas enough to allow for some air circulation.
2.  Having the solar blankets on did help with the problem.
3.  Just running the bunk end fan on low helped the problem.
4.  There is more than one solution to the problem.  Just try what works for you.

I think one major cause of the condensation problem is that the hybrid bunk ends are lower than on a popup thus more or your warm breath hits the colder canvas.  I, too, was surprised at the amount of condensation that accumulates.

that and the fact my little one doesn't stay under the covers and gets too cold so I have the heat on also

I put a  fan on the closed stove pointing up at the ceiling towards the bunkends, this moves the air, it brings the warm air down, and the furance doesn't work as hard (hot air rises) and it keeps the air moving to keep the ceiling dryer!
  two for one deal!
