Hi there,

I don't want to worry you further but you say that the tent is stored in the garage. If its not heated and just a normal garage I would get it out to check, not just for damp but also to make sure there is no rodent damage - there are quite a lot of posts about people who have found that their tents have been stored in sheds and garages that have proved irresistable to mice who like to make nice snug homes in them.

Garage is fine we extended last year which included a new insulated internal garage with electric roller doors, so lovely warm & dry, tent on its own shelf & definitely no rodents - in fact thinking about it, it seems a shame to keep just the 2 tents in such lovely conditions!!!!  I've persuaded the OH to get it out tonight for a check over - the tent that is!!

I'd say to remove the tent from storage (he said choosing his words carefully) and check it for damage/mildew/nesting mice/bits missing because you left them behind on your last trip/etc.  The chances may be remote but you don't want to find out there's a problem when you reach the site.
