I am planning on storing my series 3 for part of the winter. Last year I tarped it and ran a small electric heater (the type used to combat boat moisture) which worked well. This year I don't have access to power but I plan to upgrade from a tarp and park the rover inside one of those temporary steel frame - poly tarp garage structures on a gravel base. Do you think it is still necessary to use the space heater inside or is this overkill for an island winter?
Thanks, Rob
For those interested, OVLR and Fourfold have some good articles on preparation for winter (and longer term) storage but little mention of inside moisture issues.

storage
a couple of the - dri z air canisters - refreshed monthly will pick up a lot of the moisture
the rv places have a 5watt fan heater that keeps the air moving they run $35+- but you do need hydro
the rv dealers also carry tyvec covers which keep out the moisture but allow moisture to escape

dri-Z-air
Be careful of the dri-z-air crystals. As they are calcium chloride. they work best if there is no draught. otherwise you are trying to dry the WORLD!!. give up you cant do it. !! if you use dri-z-air crystals be sure bare metal surfaces are sprayed with honey goo or a product like it, as surfaces will rust, faster from the calcium. I would just have the truck as dry as possible before you store it and you shouldnt have any problem. Advice from 40 years in the rv buisness.... rick.m. secretary .ROVERLANDERS.
