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. |

Dehumidifiers dry out the interior of the race boat full of damp spinnakers in about two days. You could run it maybe 10+hrs thru the week? Its like keeping track of a bowl full of gold fish. 2. I also have experience with humidity bags, amazing how much water they pull out of the air and fill the bags. $5 bucks a bag, get some and see what it takes.
