picking up our new to us Pennine Sterling today and was wondering what everyone leaves in with when packing away ie
Roof liners, bed pods, curtains and bedding etc TIA
We have had our sterling two years, the first winter iI left everything in, covered the trailer over with a tarp, and then a winterised cover. When I came to open up in the spring, condensation had caused fabric mould in the rear bedroom liner, not much but enough to need cleaning.
Beware that this fabric shrinks when washed!
Last winter I took curtains,linings out and put in under the spare bed, the trailer was then stored in a barn under same covers, no issues of condensation or damp.
Next winter I might try and leave everything in place and store in the barn.
I find that when the weather is hot it sweats under the cover at the rear of the trailer, making the bedroom liner a bit damp, so have put an old double blow up mattress under the cover and have no problems now.
We also have a pennine sterling. In the winter we remove bedroom pods, curtains, cushions, and any large items that are normally stored under the seats. We also like to add a moisture collector to protect from damp, and raise the jockey wheel to allow runoff . Even though our camper lives on the drive ( not undercover ) we have a lovely mold free canvas as a result. In the summer we pack it up ready to go. All apart from the bedding and the bedroom liners, these I keep in a seperate camping bag ready to go. Some people leave the bedroom pods in over the summer, but I like to take them out after each holiday to give them a little light clean so they smell fresh and nice. Hope that helps x
I pack the bedding in the camper the night before travel, as our sleeping bags are all wrapped up. Clothes, towels and pillows go in the car with us. Technically you could pack it up ready to go the weekend before, if you can fit it all in, shouldn't do any harm unless you have a spell of wet cold weather and the air can't circulate around the camper, then some items might feel damp. I Have a large camping bag ( size of a laundry bag )ready to go with all the bedding pods, towels, bedding etc. so when we go away I know I only need to put the camping bag and clothes in the car as all the kitchen bits and bobs are already in there.
Hi we have a sterling too. During the summer we leave everything in, pillows, fleece throws, sleeping bags. Over winter we take these out, and also take out the bedroom liners to give them a wash, but leave the roof liner and cushions in.
We don't have anywhere to store the cushions or mattresses and have never had a problem leaving them in. Our camper stays on the drive with a winter cover.
