This wet sleeping pod problem has come up a few times before. I always dry my tents when I get home, even if I break camp on a fine sunny day.

Never ever gave a thought to the sleeping section being wet, that is till a couple of weeks ago when horror of horrors, I found black mold on my inner tent.

I now also air out my inner tents when I get home. I can only think my problem was caused by a wet foot print.

If I'm packing away a wet tent I always take out the sleeping pods and put them in tent bag, then just roll wet tent up and shove it in the car. I've found because of SIG the best way to dry the inside is to erect it without putting pod back in, leaving all the curtain and midge nets hang loose.

If the weather is still too wet when I get home I will hang it ove a rope in the garage, but will regularly move it, and turn it outside in if necesary. just check it and if you find any wet or damp parts hang it in a way they will dry.

But the best way (weather permitting) is to put it back up in the garden
