Any smooth, hard surface (like epoxy/glass laminate) will collect
condensation and drip unless you camp only in really warm weather.
That's the reason for the flocking in the first place, and also why much
cheaper carpet type coverings are used as replacements, neither will
form condensation.

A long time ago I converted a '68 Westy to a high top and lined the
whole thing with carpet.  I worked and held up fine, I'll never do that
job again!
