Sorry I intruded. I didn't notice which group I was in when I did my email. I sold my Tab to Wendycc but I still nose around here for interesting tidbits. As you may have guessed I downsized even more by getting the smallest Aliner, the Alite.

One thing I can tell you though if you have a unvented camper and there is inside and outside temperature differences a large amout of condensation will build up in no time from just your breath. The condenstion usually builds up on smooth ceiling surfaces first.
> To stop this from happening crack a window or vent somewhat and get the inside of your camper warmer than the outside. Water condences on cold surfaces of your camper just like a glass of ice water would condence moisture on its surface. Water doesn't condence on warm surfaces, it condences on the coldest surfaces of your camper.

In the meantime, condensation is a product of moisture in air meeting a cool surface, so if the differential is right, then two hours is plenty of time to produce the moisture, as long as the inside temperature is warmer than the outside air. I don't recall any posts on this forum about "covering hinges and ledges with carpeting."
