Condensation inside roof topper

[Actionwave]

I used my Comfortz roof topper for the first time a couple of weeks ago, all good, but when I removed the comfortz topper inside was quite wet from condensation formed from breathing (I think) was 2 adults downstairs and 2 kids upstairs.
It was quite cold that night but had to dry out the topper the next day, any ideas!!

Did you have any ventilation downstairs or did you just depend on the Roof Vents?

DOnt think the roof vents or any windows were open, should the vents on the bellows been open?

If no air is circulating then condensation will form.

There are 2 small vents, each side at the front. If you were totally dependant on those only then I'm surprised you only had the inside of the Topper wet.
Any cold surface would have been covered in condensation, eg: the rear walls of the kitchen cupboards, any single glass window,. If the windscreen wasn't streaming with condensation because you had a thermal cover then that just means the condensation is elsewhere, unless you have very good ventilation.

4 sleeping in the California is just too much to just depend on those small roof canvas vents.

Open a window an inch or so and get rid of the moist air from inside the Cali. If you want to keep rain out wind deflectors will help.

SO , open the vent son the bellows of the roof and a window downstair????
Oh we had the dog in there as well 32 kg Vizsla

It was cosy

2 adults, 2 kids and a dog are probably breathing out somewhere in the region of half a litre of water in 8 hours plus CO2. Get it out and fresh air in.

We are two up and two down too and leave either drivers or passenger window slightly open (we have rain deflectors).
