As many will recall, last fall I was agonizing over the intense humidity in my one-tractor shelter. When I touched the ceiling, big drops of water showered down . . . alternator covered with new corrosion etc., etc.
Maybe you all know this, in which case I wish someone had told me, but a month ago a friend said that if I put a tarp floor in the thing, the problem would cease. I seem to recall someone suggesting a wooden floor though, which would be even better.
So I laid the tarp, tying it up to the lower rails on the long sides and laid old 1/4" ply pieces over it -- put some thick foam benches down too and some cardboard pieces.
I just checked and after a night of heavy rain and still raining today, with the tent zipped up, [b:44fcdc95e7]a dry ceiling[/b:44fcdc95e7]!!!
