We also camped 3 weeks in the Rockies and it got cool every night - the windows had condensation on them every morning but the carpet felt dry. We were in BC and it rained fro 3 days straight and the trailer was dry. (however, I made a secret storage compartment at the top of my tall cupboard and I did not put carpet in it. I had to stop putting books in it b/c the bare fiberglass got so wet the books curled!)
There were a few days where the carpet did get wet. If we had a damp / cool evening and a hot day and if I packed up the trailer to move on first thing in the cool morning, when I stopped at lunch in the heat of the day the boler was a sauna, so I started towing with a window open. One day I had to dry the carpet with a towel, but i do not know if insulation would have prevented that. I was thinking about a fantastic vent...

I'm willing to do a lot of things to my Scamp. But replacing the wall covering isn't one of them. Too much work, too much expense and too much time wasted when I'd rather be camping. But, it's not my trailer.

Best of luck!

Hey Donna!
I don't want to hijack the thread but if you read up on my trailer posts you will see I bought it as a 1992 (factory plate with serial # too) which is 4 years after the factory closed. There are many things about my beautiful little Boler that are not factory spec., so carpet did not surprise me! Somebody out in there knows where my Boler came from, but I haven't figured it out yet!

I'd like to reiterate the previous advice of using 3M 90. I used 3M 77 the first time around and all my AyrFoil came off.
I got around the sweating issue by installing a portable AC/heat/dehumidifier unit in my closet. You can see the plenums in my avatar pic.
Cheers

I like the idea of installing an air conditioner under the couch in place of the portapotty. If I do that I want to put the vent caps in the floor so I don't have to make holes in the walls
