<< The problem I had was condensation like many even if you vent at night and wipe down all surfaces daily moisture will still find its way into the wood and cause rot and mildew >>

So, what's the treatment to stop the condensation?
Just spent four weeks going from Boise to Coldfoot, Alaska in my 2015 Hawk. Most mornings, all the wooden strips on ceiling were wet. I tried everything closed and everything open. Heat on and heat off. Vent open, vent closed. Thanks for any help.

Packing the camper for this weekend. Going to Packwood, WA for their 2nd Oktoberfest. It's supposed to be in the 70s during the day and really cold at night. I will try opening one of the turnbuckle doors and the roof vents to keep condensation down. We shall see.

Would a fan help keeping the condensation down? I just bought a swift, and have a small marine DC fan i will leave on to move air around, I guess when I do the fantastic fan i wont need it

Opening one turnbuckle door and both roof vents has completely stopped condensation build up.

Hey buddy, got a single renogy lithium with the 160W overland panel on my swift. Still currently building my setup as well. Feel free to reach out with any and all questions you've got. I'll do the same. Running Firestone bags on daystar cradles well with full OME leaf packs. Love the ride. Nick

Any of the Frontier owners by chance experimented with mounting an air foil/storage on top of a Frontier cab roof? The Swift and Frontier combo doesn't leave much room on the cab roof.
