Clam Base Camp - Condensation

[masoct3]

Hi all,

I am still trying to figure out how to eliminate, or at least cut down 75% or more of the condensation that rains on my head.

Again, this is the Clam Base Camp, brand new. I love it.

Does putting any type of material on the outside (like a tarp) do anything?

Will the material (whatever that may be) need to be in the inside?

I am obviously thinking if it is inside, I can use the poles to keep it intact (and over my head). I would like a material that is large but not very large to cover simply the ceiling and be tucked under the poles.

I have no ATV, so I will be using a sled on skis to pull my things. I wouldn't want to piece together Reflex (in the 2 foot wide sections), as I can see this be a problem packing up and leaving, making my sled with less room than it needs.

Thanks all!

I have a base camp too. Love it as well. I have not had a bad condensation issue. I am using a Big Buddy Heater. What are you using to heat it?

I also am pulling mine in a sled, with no ATV, so space/weight is an issue for me too.

using a tarp over the top will help

Keep a couple vents open. Let the moisture escape.

I don't have a basecamp, but in any of my flip overs it'll rain also unless you have a vent or 2 open.

Hey,

I bought it just this past month, so it is still brand new, ready to be used.

I will be using the regular Buddy Mr. Heater, with the 1-lb propane tank.

Thanks for the info!

Hi I have 2- not base camps but I found if you get a couple 4 0r 5 inch battery operated fans and hang them inside with a vent open there is no condensation issues. Franco

That's a great tip Franco! Moving the air inside with fans will help reduce the condition in a big way.

I might have to try that. I will see about fans at the Ice Show coming up.

Also, the Base Camp comes with two cross vents, so maybe that might help out, at least a bit.

Thanks,
