Hi!

The problem is most noticeable on the windows, the thinner wall areas (at perimeter of the bed), above the wheel wells and on the velcro flaps - anywhere where the insulation is lacking (we found an obvious spot on one wall where the insulation must have a small area missing). Has anyone done anything to increase the insulation in these areas?

It would be great if TrailManor could put thermopane windows in these units and put a better insulation in the thin wall and velcro areas and put some insulation above the wheel wells. This would also help with heat gain in hot weather and make the air conditioner run less.

When camping with low temperatures (low 20's at night and highs in the 30's), we had considerable condensation even though we were running 2 small electric heaters and an oscillating fan to move the air around. The walls, ceiling and floor did not have condensation, which attests to the fact that there is adequate insulation in those locations. We had to wipe the windows, bed perimeter and velcro areas down every morning using a number of towels. We also had to move the bedding from the walls to dry out during the day. We did put a rolled up sleeping bag at the far end of the bed to help with warmth - that got wet as well where it touched the outside shell area on our 2720SL.
