We have MattressInsider twins in our queen to twin bed conversion in our 25fb. We haven’t seen any mold or mildewing under our beds yet despite being on the road for a little over a year however we haven’t gone back east yet. We don’t have a outside storage under the street side twin but a small outside storage under the curb twin. Our walls are lined with mouse fur all the way down to the subfloor so maybe that helps. I may have to look into getting some of this material to be on the safe side. Does the mattress slip any on this material?
KJRitch I have not taken a trip with them yet...my first trip scheduled is not until late March...I will let you know but I don't think it will be much difference then the mattress just on the plywood. BTW I did not have any problem with condensation either but for less than $150 it was worth it to me.
@@ladylonestarusa5950 it seems that once the mattress is in place everything stays there while traveling but this is a great idea if I ever have issues. THANKS!
for what it's worth - in the summer no longer can I feel the heat from the equipment under my bed since I installed the barrier...before installation I would sweat from it
I've seen this moisture barrier on Big Truck Big RV's page. I find it hard to believe that air can flow adequately through this system. When you look at it, it's basically just spun fibres with no direct channels out. I think a better system would be the Froli Star system. It's made for RV's and adds adjustable springs to the mattress. With the springs the mattress will sit a bit higher and there is direct channels of air flow out to the edges of the mattress. www.frolisleepsystems.com/products1.html
I looked at the Froli system too but it was too involved and much more expensive. My mattress has pocketed coils so I did not want to have more springs. The Hypervent does not compress flat when in use - it is a polymer material originally created for water drainage under parking structures and soccer fields. You should have plenty of air circulation between mattress and plywood to help any condensation to evaporate. It is designed to prevent moisture build-up underneath the mattress. More info about the product can be found on their web page - www.mattressinsider.com/mattress-condensation-prevention.html
Sorry I missed this....there is not a "this side up" shown so I do not really know the answer to your question. My only concern if you remove the separator material is wear on the mattress against the rough surface. It does not really bother me - once bed is made you cannot see it.
*thanks for your review*
You are welcome....thanks for watching!

@@AirstreamNerds If it slips, you could use Command or rubber shelf liners.

An even easier fix is drilling half holes in the wood.
that would definitely work but there is outside storage under the beds (along with utilities) and I want to keep them separated
Does the stuff actually work?

Jeff,
What is the best portable compressor for RV (AIRSTREAM)?
Lee Henry I use the VIAIR models...look on my channel for a look at it

Hey good video. Does it matter if the grey part is up or down that sheet on the separator material? Would it do even better if I removed that?
