condenmsation in cub drifta

ventalation certainly sounds like it the culprit

I agree with the nut. We had this problem with out Jayco Outback camper. The solution was to leave the side windows open a little to allow cross ventilation, particularly around the beds where you are breathing all that hot air!

Thanks for the reply. We have tried having the windows opened @ night and it does reduce the condensation on the roof but does not eliminate it. We still have trouble with the matresses on the dinette. Is there a breathable underlay available?

Thanks again

We had a similar problem in our Trak Shak. Even with the windows fully open we were getting condensation under the mattress.

We took the plastic window covers, they let in the light and keep out the rain, from under the mattress where they were stored and the problem was solved.

Up on Cape York we spent ages waiting for the inside to dry out before packing each morning. Others with similar campers and less people, there ae 5 of us, did not have the same problem. I suspect that 6 sleeping in the confines of the Cub is the real cause.

Maybe some kind of forced ventilation would help. Tthat could cause other problems though, like dust entering the van when towing.

I know this will sound a stupid answer but it worked pretty well for us go to the local carpet shop and buy two pieces of carpet that will fit under the bed ends and glue them to the wood under the matress and for some reason this stops the condensation I think it is because it provides insulation to the colder air outside under the beds or something the only time it did not work was when we were camped in -8 in Armidale one winter how dumb can yoube to camp in one of those with five people in those temperatures. It wont cost much to try it it worked for us I cant remember who gave us the tip we have used it the three campervans we have had hope it works for you barb
