Please tell me how to use Popup Gizmo covers
Hi,
After 19 years camping in a pop-up and followed by another 4 seasons in our Hybrid, I'm finally getting Popup Gizmos this coming week-end. A family member who traded-up his Hybrid for a full TT this summer is sending me his gizmos. While his Hybrid was a Kodiak, and mine is an Antigua, they are both the same (length, floorplan, etc. I hope that his covers will fit on my Antigua. Regardless... I can't complain as I'm getting them for free. I have no clue if they are the standard, high wind, or heavy high wind model.
When camping in the pop-ups, we never really have condensation problems. However, it is different with the Hybrid, especially in the fall (humidity). In the past, we have done everything possible (without the gizmos) : leave windows cracked open and a fan for the air to circulate. Recently, we purchased a table top dehumifier (EVA-DRY), the size of a small coffee maker. It does work, but still some condensation on very humid nights.
Now, with the gizmos, based on your experience, what do your recommend once they are installed? Do we still leave a bunkend window a bit opened?
Also, in the fall, we use a portable oscillating electric heater to keep the Hybrid comfortable.
One last thing, most of the time, we don't open the rear bunkend as we are only 2 people camping.
Based on what I have and what I do, what do you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.
