If you were looking for a 'bed in a box' - at least the Lil Guy trailers don't require any set up 'in the rain.'

Warmth inside your Alite will help the air hold a little moisture without condensing, but when it reaches saturation, it will still condense on cold surfaces. The key involves insulation (apparently the reason some recommend carpeting in the trouble areas) ventilation and heating. Without seeing exactly what is required for attaching it to keep it from breaking away, I can't make any useful recommendations. Hope someone can.

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.

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."
