How do you dry out your pop up

[Icemanjay]

Here’s one… how do you guys dry out your pop ups? i have 2, ones the larger otter octagon which is insulated. I leave it up north and can open in up in the unfinished basement to dry out. I also have a 3 man Eskimo not insulated which I keep at home. I kind of lean it up against a wall hoping enough air will get to it. Basement is finished so don’t want to soak the floor and I don’t have a garage.. which would be freezing cold anyways I suppose. It’s hard to find the room to dry them. Do you guys have any tricks? I’ve been holding off talking about this but figured it would possibly be useful info to a few of us on here.

I also have a few. A large 6 man clam and a medium sized otter which is insulated. I too have a finished basement and no garage. The basement washroom doesn't get used that often so after fishing I half unfold it in the washroom with ceramic tile floor. I put my dehumidifier in there and let it run for 24 hrs or so with the door closed. It works great however the wife does her hair in that washroom so It gets packed up asap.

Best way to dry it is to go back out fishing on a nice sunny day and crank the heat up with a door open. Just the bottom flaps stay wet! Tell the wives that is the advice you found online that makes sense.

I dry mine out in May LOL!!

Through the winter i just leave it in the detached garage at the cottage which is unheated. Rarely ever gets above zero and the water all just stays frozen which is essentially harmless.

Have a 4 man and a 6 man and both are going on 6 years doing this with no sign of mold or mildew.
