Awning ventilation is more important than is generally realised - particularly in synthetic awnings. Under extreme conditions, condensation within the awning cannot be completely avoided. Condensation nearly always occurs on the roof poles and therefore it is often confused with leaks. Leave the ventilation panel open as much as possible, especially when the awning is erected for some time as this will minimize condensation. Wherever possible it is recommended that the draught skirt is drawn aside slightly so that extra air circulation can take place. To prevent ground moisture rising inside the awning, a plastic underlay can be placed underneath your "Bolon" carpet, but this will cause the grass to die and may contravene some caravan sites rules. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
