Roof Top tent help

Esplanade

Had similar issues with ours.
Clark rubber have a black honeycomb material which we have put under the mattress. We stitched it to the mattress, now no problem.
A wax stick fixed the stitching problem.

Under the mattress put a sheet of EVA or PE foam. Something like EVA 30 or PE 30. You can get it from clarke rubber of a camping shop. Crazy Clarkes have them as well. Those foam rubber ground mats. The EVA 30 is the best as it is the softest. The mattress in a Roof top is usually 40mm thick or 29-200 grade foam. This allows you body heat to pass through the mattress to the floor below. Silicone the mat to the wooden floor.

For the leaking water try "Thompsons water seal". In a 1 litre can from Bunnings. On a dry way wipe it on with a car sponge, leave it to dry for 30 minutes and do it again. Be generous in the amount.

Thanks very much for the tips.
Will try and get the foam this week. I guess this will also increase the comfort of the mattress as well? It is about 50mm or so thick. It is quite soft and dints if you press on an area. So the heat passing through onto the cooler aluminium floor makes sense

G'day
We've just finished a trip to the centre with nights down to near zero and experienced the same thing most nights. I assume it's caused when the tent base temperature drops below dew point. The moisture was never to an extent where we felt it while sleeping and it did dry quickly. When I got home I taped some insulation material left over from the shed to the whole floor. It's like bubble wrap about 4mm thick with silver coating on one side and gold on the other. Haven't had time to test it yet, but I'm confident it will be ok.

By the way, it's our first trip with the Howling Moon, and we found it to be fantastic. No leaks in the rain or flapping in the wind. Weather was generally good so the annexe didn't even come out of the bag.
