Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos
Without going into too much painful detail, we had a mishap several week-ends ago. While working with sand bag crews on the Mississippi River, the truck and camper fell into the flood waters as a road...

Im think (Im afraid) that the 'extra' condensation on the end caps is mostly due to a lack of coating. I noticed that condensation forms on the bare surface of the endcaps when none forms on the original vinyl coated walls/ceiling. The vinyl seems to have purpose aside from looks.
Hoping Ticki2 can shed some light on this, IIRC he made his endcaps from a vinyl coated aluminium. Another possibility is the thinner .019 material I used having less thermal mass?
The condensation formed overnight from 2 people and a dog, even with one ceiling vent open slightly and the heat on. More ventilation will likely help if the humid air is removed before having a chance to condense. Never noticed the issue till we slept overnight, even when working in it on rainy days.
I'd bet a glue on headliner or any sort of insulating coating would do the trick. Hoping I can figure out a clear coat that works as well.
Any way of thermally isolating the inner skin from the frame would be a great advantage, there is a lot of heat conduction working against us on these campers. That pic 67 posted recently with the snow melting first where the frame members are says it all.
