Subject:      pop top mildew prevention
Content-Type: text/plain

Last summer I went to great lengths to clean up the mildew on the inside
of my Westfalia's pop top. I figured the mildew occured from moisture
that accumulates when cooking and sleeping in the van. Well that's only
part of the story. Several ski excursions this winter have led me to the
conclusion that moisture condenses inside the van whenever I travel for
any period of time in cold weather. After a day trip to the local ski
area about an hour away, the pop top area above the folded bed will be
soaking wet. To prevent mildew I now dry out that area by raising the
top and putting a small electric heater up there for a couple of hours
or overnight to dry everything out real good.
