Default Damp trailer

I have a Schreder trailer that I'm having trouble dealing with mositure. It
is all metal including the floor and has good positive venting includng a
solar vent. Despite this I can open the trailer after only a week and find
evidence on my glider of signficant mositure. It may just be the dew cycle
and I think what happens is we have a heavy dew overnight and then the
folllowing days are cloudy/wet and the moisutre is not able to evaporate.
Should I install more solar fans?

I know this is an endelss debate....I have heard comments around sealing up
the trailer instead and using dehumidifiers? are there any cordless
dehumidifiers that could be placed in a trailer that would do the job.

A few more years of this are going to kill the Simtec/Prestec. It just
doesn'tlike the prolonged mositure.

Anyone else had problems with Prestec deteriortating quickly from
mositure?

The only option may be to park the trailer inside.


we had the same issue on our old schreder trailer.we had foam
insulation sprayed everywhere except the floor. this fixed the
problem. Dennis
