Condensation
All awning tents suffer from internal condensation if one or more of the
following conditions apply:
• high air humidity
• high ground moisture
• a drop in temperature
Severe condensation can run down the inside of the roof and drip off ties,
tapes and other internal fittings and can be mistaken for leaking.
➤
Increase ventilation by opening doors and/or windows.
➤
Install a waterproof groundsheet.
