    In those temps, running the exhaust fan with a window cracked would freeze the condensation. Ask me how I know. Haha

    I'm open to options. I'm looking into it but it's not really a problem that needs a drastic solution. Ill be looking into lo-fi things to try

    My mom keeps a dehumidifier bag in her camper when she is not there. It's a plastic bag filled with some crushed stone looking stuff. Over time the bag fills with water from the air.

    Damp Rid might be just the ticket for such a small space. Works similar to what @HawkShot99 described above- the material absorbs moisture and water collects in a container. They make different versions of the product and some that even have an "air freshener" scent that may or may not be annoying in a small space if you're sensitive to that sort of thing.

    I like the general idea of the EvaDry. Can be used while you're in the camper (most important), plug it in to dry out the crystals for another use, and no real waste. Should be easy to mount in the camper then pull out every so often to dry out.

    Do NOT get the air freshner one. I had a girlfriend that used those. Smelled fucking horrible!!!!! No scent works great though. Although I dont think they work that fast, as you would need for camping purposes.

    I don't think any of these Crystal based ones would work fast enough. A heater is probably the best option but I'm not sure I love that idea.

    I just built a camper myself! I'm super stoked to have just found your build thread! Looks fantastic! I'm going to read it in more detail when I have more time later.

    On the make again...solving little problems.

    IMG_20191207_143128.jpg
    Hmmm...what could it be. I'll randomly fuss with this for a day or two.

    IMG_20191207_143349.jpg
    Also picked up two common sense fasteners to experiment with.Yes that is what they are called. These are for a different problem that needs solving. These aren't the version of these I need but that doesn't matter right now.

    You had better read every damn post.

    You have no idea how much work it was for all of us to back seat build the "Square Lime" man.

    TONS of effort on our part!!!

    Did a little work on the perverted sex swing today

    IMG_20191222_112358.jpg
    Cut and folded the nylon webbing just how I wanted. Then clamped the decorative washers in place and hand stitched a bar tack on each side.

    IMG_20191222_112608.jpg
    Here's the general idea. Bar tacked on each end. Bar tacks aren't
    critical but they help with holding everything together as I finish it up.

    IMG_20191222_112627.jpg
    IMG_20191222_144540.jpg
    Now it's time for fire!

    IMG_20191222_145743.jpg
    Push the hot nail through the webbing to make a nicely finish mounting hole. Repeat on the other side and...done.

    Now I just need to drill the right spots in the camper, epoxy fill the holes then drill and mount.

    Stay tuned...

    Oh, and I've been doing some other work which is why this is taking forever considering how simple it is.

    IMG_20191214_135458.jpgit was way past time to deal with some of this train wreck.

    IMG_20191221_131531.jpg
    Clean out the area and start building!

    IMG_20191221_161039.jpg
    IMG_20191221_161349.jpg
    Then load it all up! So nice to have all of these sheet goods stored properly and accessible. It was such a mess before. Only about 47 other garage projects left and it'll be done! :D

    Took a few minutes to get the hook up in the camper.

    IMG_20191224_165412.jpg
    My process for a somewhat light duty and quick fastening to these fiberglass panels is to drill holes smaller than the body of a screw, inject epoxy until the pocket is full or as close as you can get, then thread the screw in. Once the epoxy cures, it's a pretty solid mount. This hook won't be doing much work so it should be plenty solid.
