Just wondering how do people dry their tents?

If, unfortunately, when packing your tent away and it's a large tent i.e. 6 man plus and (with our weather!) it's raining, how do you dry out your tent when at home before packing it away?

Love to hear some methods etc.

If you have a large enough garden then re-erect asap mould is your enemy.  If not have heard of people using their banisters to hang it over or lay it out in a room on the floor and just keep turning it as often as possible.  If it is just wet when you pack away and not actaully raining give it a good wipe off with your towels before you pack it up then when you get home the bag wont be full of too much excess water.

We have spread it around a spare room and kept turning it now and again until it was completely dry.

I am fortunate enough to have access to a central heated room that is huge fully carpeted and totally empty it makes a great drying room

Hi , have replied before to a post similar to this, but as our tent is inflatable, we are able to erect it in the living room, leave overnight and take down in the morning bone dry!
