We had pretty good luck on the original Floating Empire with a mylarized bubble wrap called ecofoil, and are thinking of lining the interior of the hull and doghouse with that where ever possible.Mungohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484485549725839529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702427911824410568.post-62255037816321538082017-11-14T10:49:01.673-05:002017-11-14T10:49:01.673-05:00Damprid does work.

Ivation makes a ceramic moisture collector that you plug in occasionally to dry out, which I'm anxious to try. We also find that, even if chilly, letting the air vent out of the boat (along with all the moisture) occasionally really helps as well. The more often you can open up stuff, the better off you are, one thinks. Tomorrow we'll get the flexoglass to enclose the wheelhouse, which will let us impound solar heat while leaving the body of the boat open this winter. Be interested to see how that works out.Mungohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484485549725839529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702427911824410568.post-73416272405687379942017-11-14T09:44:25.626-05:002017-11-14T09:44:25.626-05:00hello .

I have the same moisture problems as on a boat. only I dont have electric to run a dehumidifier. moister seems to always find a home beneath mattress on bunk. had same problem on my sailboat when I stayed aboard one winter. damp rid helps a lot,but the hanging bag type work miracles. you can watch as the clear part of bag collects water. I keep 2 bags hanging year round & change as needed in my Roadtrek camper van. no more moister collectiing under bed & causing mold. hope this helps out. yes they are available on big "A" . cheers from pasadena. <br /> RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702427911824410568.post-10697979732385928832017-11-12T14:11:36.141-05:002017-11-12T14:11:36.141-05:00Have you considered an expanding foam or some othe...Have you considered an expanding foam or some other kind of internal/external weather seal kit? I've heard flexseal spray rubber is kind of handy for that situationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
