Damp Mattress Problem

G'day,
Not sure what a Windsor Rapid is, but depending on the weather conditions, most mattresses will be damp underneath when it is cold outside.
We find this even with close cell foam hikers mats under as well, and we use 2 50mm foam mattresses each and it's only the bottom 1.
Most people wouldn't know the damp is there if they're not aware of it happening.
Don't take long to dry out.

i also have the windsor rapid and have never had tis problem, have you got the plastic up around the bed properly?

If you have a look at www.caravansplus.com.au and look in the bedding accessories section and you'll see the Hypervent bedding underlay, that should fix it. Cheers.

A much cheaper way to vent it is a couple of layers of shadecloth under the mattress, much cheaper than the Hypervent stuff and works just as well.

Perhaps a couple less beers before bed time.....lol

Stop wetting the bed

We had similar problems in the Army..we did an easy fix by using a newspaper underneath..actually draws out the moisture from the mattress. In the morning just put the paper into the recycle bin and replace it with the read daily paper.

Nappy's

We have a Jayco Dove, and the pull out beds are made of heavy ply, probably 5 ply or more. Underneath the mattress are 3 lengths of ply, about 1 metre by 20cm.just scatteres randomly so as to leave air gaps. Never have any moisture problems. Another good point. I spoke to someone recently who had a similar van and decided to varnish the bondwood extendable bed bases to protect them and look good. Straight away got moisture problems. Apparently the timber needs to breath, and the varnish prevents this. All the best.
