hi, does anyone have experience of how to dry a wet camplet? Got wet over the weekend tried to dry on the drive but weather forecast to be wet for next five or six days? How can I dry it out ? Is it possible ( easily) to remove and refit the whole canvas?

If it’s broke fix it, don’t buy new.

Hi TartanDragon,whenever we have come home after a wet pack away,we have put our F.C. up on the drive,even if it’s still raining. If your camplet is sound and waterproof, it is still better to have it open and rained on,than to leave it folded, that’s when the mould sets in. I don’t know how you remove the canvas on your camplet,but I’m assuming it’s similar if not the same as our Pathfinder. It’s easy enough to take the canvas off, it’s having somewhere to lie it out to dry.
Good luck drying it out.

Agree with Junior Pullman. Just put the camper up and leave it until the next dry day. It won’t come to any harm left set up. Folded away damp is far worse

Leave it up and unzip the bed pod window flaps and the top of the front panels. Surprising how quickly it will dry especially with a bit of a breeze. I've heard of people using a hand held window vac to take out some of the moisture when packing up wet. Never tried it myself but believe it has been quite successful.
