My canopy is FG, so it does not sweat as much as a metal one, but the condensation is a problem. The only thing I hve going for me is that I have a bed liner **on the bed only** (not on the sides), so most of the runoff goes under the liner, and eventually drips out the tailgate or evaporates. > Also, what about mid-summer camping when it's hotter than blazes but the > 'skeeters are also out? Hot? What's that? Oregon and Washington and BC -- coastal parts anyway -- are never that hot! Seriously, my cap has screens over the windows -- these are an aftermarket item available at most RV outfitters. They just pop into a channel on the inside of the slider. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sat Jan 22 2000 - 20:58:40 PST
