Escape Hatch Condensation
Our 2002 Lance 811 has the crank-up hatch over the bed that also has the quick-release as an escape hatch. With cool weather outside, the aluminum frame produces condensation like crazy, to the point where it drips on the bed.
The factory did provide an insulated vinyl cover that snaps to the ceiling around the hatch. The problem is it doesn't form an air tight seal to the ceiling, so condensation still forms and just puddles on the top of the vinyl cover.
Obviously what's needed is a way to stop the inside air from contacting the aluminum frame of the hatch. I thought about spraying some of that Flex Seal liquid rubber on the exposed aluminum but not sure if that would insulate it enough.
What have you guys figured out for this?
