Have just bought our first van. It isn't new but a great first van to see how we like it.

Just been away for our first weekend and when we put the bed away in the morning the bottom of the cushions and the wood on the seating was damp.

I am panicking that it is damp but my husband says it was condensation.

Help - is he right? It is now in storage until after Christmas and I am worried we will go back and it will be horribly smelly and damp.

Am I being paranoid as my husband suggests?!?!

we didnt get this on our last van because it had a slatted piece that pulled out to make the bed but on our van before that you used the table as the bed base and that would always be damp in the morning so we used to put a towel underneath. If you have it in storage with the cushions it is a good idea to stand them on their end away from the walls so that the air can circulate to prevent damp, also if you have curtains that are bunched up with tie backs pull them closed because I found they went a bit mildewy if left bunched up as the air couldn't circulate.
