How long, on average, does it take to dry a Folding Camper on a typical winter day i.e. dry but cold ?
As a newbie I have absolutely no idea and hope some of you experienced chaps and chapesses (???) can advise me please.
Thanks

ps: I have no idea how long a piece of string is !!
the length of a bit of string is twice what it is from the middle to one end
well if its wet and you try and dry it out and a nice frost or temp drops you end up with a freeze dried unit, anyway to shortent he time and make it happen put a heater inside on full.
we came back from barmouth a few weeks ago after a weekend of torrential rain non stop..got back and put the camper up in the dry with a blow heater inside it was dry after about 3 hours and believe me this thing was well drenched..as a matter of note somewhere on here i posted about the canvas shrinking when wet..i knew it was fully dry when it went back to its proper size and fit properly...just a thought...
I have a Dandy... so do not do drying out! Designed for wet weather. Previously owned a canvas job and you really have to make sure it is bone dry and I am afraid I did have one ruined canvas.
I thought PVC was mad and a horrible idea until I met one.....It is not like you would imagine at all as it is fully insulated. (just imagine a caravan with soft walls). it is very comfortable.. I even have double glazed windows.
Oh incidently Dandy's are designed for year around use..... insulation and double glazing standard feature.
Just when I thought we had decided what to get (Pennine Pullman or Conway Cruiser) the old plastic fantastic is thrown into the mix just to confuse things.
Seems like I now had to take she who must be obeyed to look at some Dandys.
Oh joy !!!
