Has anybody shaved off their rat fur?

Using something like Dri-Mat under the mattress. They do sell a product in the USA for putting under the mattress in a boat.


However it is an easy problem to solve. Just stick a couple of plastic shoe bin boxes under the mattress to elevate it between trips or during the daytime on a trip. It just needs to be tipped up at an angle. That will allow fresh air to get under the mattress to remove the condensation from the previous night.



Another choice is to put a layer of Reflextic under the mattress. That will reflect your moisture laden body heat keeping it from hitting a cold surface where it condenses. A combination of the two methods is good.

We do put waterproof mattress protector on all 3 beds so our sweat and moisture won't go through, but a great idea on putting something in between during the day to let it air out. I think I can use something that we already have in the camper and just prop it up when we go out, thank you!
