As long as it is completely dry I can't see a problem with this.

Mine's sitting on the settee in the living room while I decide whether or not to take it with us this weekend - daughter wants to bring a friend and as it's only a 2 berth van they'll be sleeping in the awning if they come. It will spend winter either in the van or in the house, depending on when it's used.
