We must live in different climates.
Here in Central Michigan it's not unusual to find the airplane
"dripping" wet with temperature changes.

I have an garage attached to the house. It's not unusual to find the
cars sweating with temperature and humidity changes. I had to work on
the garden tractor today and the engine is wet from the humidity and
temperature changes. (It's been 100% since last night and rained most
of the day.


I feel your pain! g

NC is like that, at times, also.

Want a good piece of advise? Insulate your garage, put up good insulated
garage doors, and with good seals installed. Run one 8" duct into the
garage from your central heat and air. It makes a huge difference at not
all that much expense.

I am currently in Florida. However, I'll keep your solution in mind in
case
of a move to a cooler climate.

Thanks for the advice.

I frequently recommend storing airplanes in these warm humid climates in
"Planeports" rather than hangars. You have to keep the sun off to prevent
damage from the UV radiation. Letting the air blow freely through seems to
prevent the dew inside phenomena. In closed hangars I have seen it actually
raining inside the hangar when it was a clear night outside!
