old21biker this is a 8 year old post thread you've tagged onto, not sure any of the original contributors still around, so you may not get any thanks for sound advice as good as it is. May be of use to more current members though!

Original poster here, and thanks
8 years on and i can safely say that we've never had the problem again after i put some sheets of thin ish wood over the camper (under the transit cover) to level it out then a layer of bubble wrap then the transit cover then the winter cover. one end raised and alls good. Thanks to the group i guess. who says none of us are still around lol
;)

Perhaps I've got too used to folks who post a question and don't even stick around long enough for the near instant replies!

Congratulations on your longevity Bogman, do you get a medal yet?

I have definitely learned something that will be taken on board if we replace our outfit, it having succumbed to mould.

Well I'm off to buy bubble wrap. Very useful. Only recently bought a crusader. Would hate to ruin it over its first winter with me.
