The pool noodle is just tossed in the bus. If/when it rains, it gets stuffed between the awning case and the the roof. It may not stop all the water, but it significantly slows it down. I don’t camp in the rain for any extended length of time. If it’s going to pour for hours, we move inside and button up.

(From what I saw in the past couple days news reports of the east coast rain, I’d think that the best place to be would be in the garage.)
