Anyone know how to stop condensation in annexe ?
During summer no issues, raining and it is nice and dry.
Get some cold weather and it is pouring on the inside where the kids are sleeping ?

A fly over the top creating a small air space will do it.

The coldest air / warmer and more humid air boundry is seperated and the dew point will be on the fly sheet instead of inside the anex.

In still conditions it allows a pocket of air at a temperature between the outside air and that inside the annexe. Stopped virtually all my condensation problems. Acts as in insulating barrier.
I use one of those lightweight silver fly sheets, does the job. I got an extra large size to extend out on three sides and
well out over the front of my tent to act as an awning.
No longer need to attach the tent awning and cured the condensation bit.

Good advice there Ian.
A bigger fly sheet can make a big difference and also keeps that condensation of the ends / sides of the tent / annexe

hi wayne
i have a large heavy duty silver tarp that i fit over the top of my jayco swan and annexe plus overhang each side. it is great for condensation and also for those days it rains/storms or is a real hot day.
the gap between insulates you below. it is also great for times you have to either setup or pack up in the rain. i put the tarp up first so keeps everything and everybody dry and cool.
dont get the cheap silver tarps if you need a large one. they dont last from wind etc. a very good quality one will last longer and especially if you use ropes with springs or the ockey straps to allow for the wind etc.
also if you have a camper, ive been told newspaper under the mattress stops condensation there.
good luck with it mick
