Hybrid Seasonal Tips/Tricks?

It looks like we are parking our HTT as a seasonal this year. I know, a hybrid doesn't seem real ideal for this particular application, but there are a lot of factors that led to this decision for us. This isn't so much a "should I seasonal camp with a hybrid" question - but looking for advice from anybody else who has done it.

I'm thinking that folding up the beds when we are gone will be important. I'm wondering about PUGs just to protect them since they will probably be open quite a bit more this summer since it is out at the campground all summer.
Any other tips or ideas on how to seasonal camp in an HTT?

    Put on the PUG,s and leave em open, As long as weather and safety are not a concern. Take the PUG,s off once a month to clean the canvas. Have fun. Folding the tent ends up is a great option, but there is always going to be that rainy day when you cant fold em up dry. I have seen it done, but the canvas looked rough and obviously not maintaned. Happy camping.

    I'd think for seasonal use a HTT is the same as a TT but with tenting, so I'd only be extra concerned with such. Covering as much of it as you can with Gizmo's or some such and closing it up when you leave sounds like all you can do. After it rains, do remove the Gizmo's and see if it gets wet underneath as mine does, you'll need to let it dry. Keep an eye out for mildew.

    So what you REALLY meant to say was, "Good that you recognize a hybrid isn't the greatest choice. But your idea to close up the bed ends when you leave is probably a good idea. Have fun!"

    There... I fixed it for you!
