Close call with the CT Canvas
« on: June 10, 2014, 09:01:24 PM »
G'day all,

Just a heads up for you all, I had to try and dry out my camper in the carport  as it was too wet outside..... anyway, the carport roof is a bit too low to open up the camper, so I flattened the tyres on the camper to allow me to open up the camper as much as possible.... I managed to get it open enough to be satisfied that it would dry.......
What I didn't realise though was that I now had the canvas close to the garage door motor, and in that motor is an auto light...... now this light gets very hot, luckily for me my roof canvas was drenched, it wasn't till this morning when opened the garage door and seen the light shining on the roof of the camper, I climbed up and felt the temp, it was alarmingly hot...............

Morale of story be aware if you're trying to dry your camper in the garage....... u might dry one spot a bit too much, as in crispy, on fire dry!!!

Thanks for sharing this, a good learning for us all.

I don't have a ct but had the van's annex flooring and a shade wall drying in the garage after the weekend.
