Hello all,

I have been trying to stop that dampness that can occur in the mattress at night, and no it's not self generated dampness!!.

I have had an idea and would appreciate other opinions. I am thinking of buying firm insulation board about 25mm thick, cutting this into squares say 100mm x 100mm. Space each square 50mm apart and stick to inside of bedboard with double sided tape. When the mattress is placed on top it allows for airflow underneath and the bedboard can 'breathe' and also creates a bit of insulation between the mattress and bedboard.

What do you think?

The camper did not have bed skirts when we bought it unfortunately and we would like some, but have not seen any for sale and would have to save for new ones. (i think TVS make them)

there was a set for sale on ebay they did not sell my be worth contacting them if they are what you need.

It is interesting how some outfits are affected by condensation and others apparently not.  We always air our mattress during the day by sliding two extending poles underneath.  I agree with Jan's ideas but am considering making a light weight bed frame so that the mattress is above the base by 50mm.
