One of our club syndicates have kept a discus for some years and are now keeping a ventus without any trouble by completely sealing a the trailer vents and installing an industrial grade de-humidifier within the trailer. This is permanently connected to power, it only uses a few pounds worth of electric every year and so is well worth the cost. Yes. I've been doing that for years. Except I find that a cheap (about $150 US) standard-issue dehumidifier does the trick. But this is only for when I bring the glider home to work on. Normally it is in a hangar (glider in trailer, trailer in hangar) and doesn't seem to require the dehumidifier there. If I were to keep my glider in the trailer, trailer outside, during the hot and dry summer months I might be a bit concerned about inside trailer temps without open vents. Not sure. I agree with your energy use observation. I couldn't detect an increase looking at my billing statements. Not that I would care much even if I could. Regards, -Doug (in often very wet Michigan) |
