You need a dehumidifier
I'd open the doors every now and then when it's sunny to help air it. Also, so long as you don't put a wet car away, it should stay condensation free.
Bad idea, spray foam it
I have one of those for a shed on my cabin property. I store all my toys in there over the winter and had no issues at all. I close it up in November and open it in the spring and everything is fine. Thanks for sharing!
could you do a video explaining how to put window in? I read they are good for 2 or 3 decades, I bought a 98, not knowing this….owner did not tell me its age.
How is it going now? I'm in love with these containers!!
holy crap! I've become a wuss! way too cold for me anymore
Im considering getting a couple of these for storing cars also. If you put covers on the car t would help too.
Did you remove the piece over the window in the back?
Later on- mop on a few gallons of that aluminized roof goop they sell for trailers. Maybe block up 1 side a few inches, so it's pitched over to one side?
The best solution is not always the most cost effective. IMHO Ryan is all about using what he has or can get inexpensively.
Hi Mustie
A possible suggestion that worked well for us regarding Frosting & Dripping. You are correct Spring is the worst season. We ran 3 cables the length of the CAN (middle & both edges) Edge cables 2 " below Mid line cable then strung building plastic over cables to provide a drip catcher to chnell the moisture to the edges. The frost adheres to the metal first so the plastic stays relatively free of frost. Not perfect but much better than the first year when we had nothing. PS. What about a follow up on the welding trailer??? Dedicated viewers like myself just NEED TO KNOW!!! (LOL). Keep up the great work.
You need a Small 12V DC Fan with a Small 10W Solar Panel. That way there's always Air " Sucking Out " to prevent " Moisture ". Our Basement was like that… Moisture Build-Up, we installed a cheap 12V DC Fan, 3+ years now, no more mildew.
Could you put a garage sale dehumidifier in there to pull the moisture out? Run a cord to the garage and turn it on once a week?
My dad stored his furniture in a container and keep checking it like this. Eventually he locked moisture in the container and all his furniture bowed and got mild mould at the far end. I did tell him to leave some cat litter in there but . . .
Whats the temp ….. It's 34 here and light rain .. oh green too lol
Darren. Go to your local rv parts store and get a couple DrizAir contaniners they work great in my carmp trailer to keep the moisture down
