Hi All this is my first post.

We have just purchased a Outwell Nevada M after 10 happy years with a Khyam Rigidome.

We braved the cold and camped last weekeng for the first time in our new tent.

In the rigidome condensation did not matter as there was no SIG we just took down the innner shook the tent, packed it up and took it home to dry it out under the carport.

We cannot do this with our New Nevada as we will get the SIG and inside of the tent soaked from the condensation.

It was not a problem this time as we could leave the tent up all day to dry out (in glorious sunshine)and decamp in the evening, however I can see it being a problem if we needed a quick getaway after a nights camping.

How would you tackle this problem?

Also has anyone advice for drying out tent without having to errect it, we have a carport that we can hang it out under but it would not fit under errected.

Thanks in advance.

Paul

Hi Paul

We often have to bring home damp tents and inners, we use the banisters and move the tent around each day to dry it off

after a really wet weekend, one tent took about 5 days to be completly dry

can you put up a long pole in the carport to spread it over?

We spread ours over the conservatory floor and keep turning it. The sun dries it our nicely.
