We were away during September & found that we had damp/wet clothes in the overhead locker. It doesn’t appear to have been water ingress, although it was raining at the time.
It seems to be condensation that was wet to the touch & ran down the inside face when disturbed. This is the first time that we have experienced something like this in over 12 years of motorhoming.
Presumably this is a “cold spot”. Is there any way of protecting against this? Where the beds abut the outside wall there is a “buffer rail” which creates an air gap. Is a similar thing required to the lockers to prevent clothes touching the inner surface? There is a small gap between the overhead cupboard base & the wall which presumably allows an upward airflow and there is also a small lip/upstand.
Would it be advisable to install some type of “barrier” to the internal wall surface to allow clothes to press up against it but to maintain the air flow gap?
I was originally thinking of something like a double suction cup with a rigid board on the inner face but it isn’t smooth & a trial suction cup wouldn’t stick!
We can’t be the only ones to have experienced this sort of issue.
Thanks in advance,
