I have only camped in the deuce bed once and I had a real issue with condensation dripping off the ceiling on me and all the gear. I mean it was really bad. Is this common? I guess the solution would be ventilation but when it's cold...ventilation isn't always comfortable either!

We are hunting deer. But will shoot any thing that is in season!! :grin: Have camped in her once but wasn't too cold that time. We are in for some lows in the 20s.

Opening the four vents helps. Condensation will still form but not as bad. If there is air movement it's better. Zero degree sleeping bags help. The 4 Pc Modular Sleep Systems are really nice.

How do you plan on staying warm. Mid 20s and your basically sleeping in a tent with a metal floor. You'll have to let us know the hunting trip went.

My son and I just got back from a deer hunting trip in my M36A3 (got a 9 point buck). We raised the top by extending the bow legs 23" so we would have walk around head room. We insulated the top by making a "blanket" out of six layers of 3/16" bubble wrap. We got ours from a local packaging supplies dealer and held all the pieces together with duck tape. It was a pain to make but it really works. We insulated the floor by laying down foam plastic insulation boards (Home Depot) and covering them with 5/16" plywood.
Based on an earlier experience with sleeping in an unventilated and uninsulated full sized van, I would agree that the problem you experienced was condensation due to lack of ventilation. I believe it was compounded by having (perhaps) not enough insulation in the top and floor.

I used to sleep in the back of a 5-ton in my field artillery days. The condensation from four people sleeping back there is unreal.

Let's see those deer!
