Any help in this area would be appreciated. Nothing more to add to Harry's comments except to say that you need to make sure the tent is properly vented at the TOP of the tent. Some install the vents at the bottom because it's easier and they don't have to climb a ladder. As to condensation and mold, venting should take care of that, but be sure to remove any cushions, open all the hatches and make sure they stay that way, don't vent your gas cap - as in loosen it. Battery removal is your personal choice - I don't remove my batteries, but I disconnect them and put them on a monitored trickle charge system over winter. Usually in the Spring, I have to top off with a little distilled water, but nothing major. If you are really concerned about mold, go to West and get one of those mold bag dealies. |
