Do you use the swimming pool noodles and still have to put towels around the edges?

I've read posts about using those swimming pool noodles, but we've never packed them. I mostly use towels, so we can wipe down the condensation on the walls in the morning....there's a lot of condensation inside the camper!

The pool noodles made a big difference for us when the wind was blowing. It stopped the draft.

We had another draft behind the closet. The upper and lower shells were not fitting together tightly enough. I tried stuffing towels in there but that did not work.

So when I got home I took the aluminum latch off and drilled a hole on the other side from the original hole. I installed it flipped over from the original orientation. Now, in order to clip it in place, I have to lean into the upper shell to push it in about 1/8 inch. No more draft behind the closet on windy nights. Not every one will have this problem. The pool noodles, I think, are applicable to everyone.

Another option to the pool noodles, is the insulation foam used for window air conditioners found at home improvement stores. I sent hubby out for pool noodles and he found this instead, which fits the gaps under the slide out bed as if it was made for it and it definately makes a difference at night when it is cool out! Very easy to store when you collapse the trailer too.
