Agreed - I never leave any electrical stuff on at night ,cept the fridge. Course, he could run the dehumidifier during the evening/morning.

It's a small unit and a big boat with all cabins left open, so I doubt I would die, but will bear that in mind if really pissed and dehydrated when I go to bed, a useful thought though /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

no glue yet
no need to glue - the non-slip blue matting (you can get it cheap from caravan shops) will hold ventair, matress, or bits of carpet (or slippy cockpit cushions another god aplication). Whatever you use I wdn't glue it immediately in case it doesn't work as well you wanted.

True tcm - he should try it "loose-laid" first, but the "monkey-fur" on my Binliner is glued down (- probably cheapest way of doing it, knowing Brunswick!).

How easy is it to get stains out of your monkey fur? TCM's idea sounds good as you could disinfect the grippy stuff as and when required.

Well, as it's cream-coloured it's a bleedin nightmare. Be much better were it dark grey/brown type shade.
Disinfect ????? Wtf do you get up to in yon bed ? Watersports, is it ? (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, he answered knowingly, etc.)

oh and
another option (not quite as good really, but not the expense of the blue matting stuff) is spray glue - the stuff you get from an upholstery shop. SDpray tack i think they call it - it's glue but sort of rip apartable - ok for horizontal surface tho useles to truly glue stuff.
I wd get the blue stuff, just needs a few bits not a bed-area worth.
also - try running the dehum during the day if lecky supply allows- gets all the sheets luverly and dry, much nicer.

Re: no glue yet
um, that's getting a bit ott innit? You just need a condensation barrier. in fact, if the matress has a (wooden?) lip around it, just plonk the ventair/horsehair wotsit down. Any ole lagging tho wil stop the condesation at the warm matress/cold grp interface, another bloke on pbo used soem of the blue wall lagging (builders board) 1inch thick under the mattress.

no no, I left the dehumidifer on one night and I lost a stone in weight! Yes, you'll definitely drop dead with the dehum on after a week or so overight, well-known fact....

I do have a nice wooden lip all around so room for a thick pad, I will try the horse stuff on it's own cutting the shape of the hatch out and I think the lip will keep it in place, if not I can get some rolls of the blue stuff later. Thanks for the advice.

I'm sure swmbo's breasts were shrinking, it could have been that /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif (didn't see any milk in the container though /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif), is there a moisture adding machine available? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Boil a kettle at one end of the boat and run the dehum at the other, and then stand her in between facing one way or the other depending on which parts need expansion or reduction.

Does the top end need moisturising, or is it fine? I may need a spare /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif or if swmbo see's this thread a total replacement /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
