Thanks Andy.
It sounds as tough it would be practical to un-bag a car for a week and
then re-bag it?
That's as long as we usually get to spend at our condo at one time.

Clean, dust free and dry.
Some points to note:
Use - In simple terms you unzip it, spread it on the ground, drive the
car on it and zip the thing up over the car. In order to absorb the
inherent moisture I stick a portable household dehumidifier in with the
car, zip it up with just the cable sticking out of the end of the zip,
then run that for a couple of hours before (very quickly) whipping that
out and throwing in a big box of silicone crystals then closing it up
tight. That may be overkill, but its easy insurance! The little
canisters of absorber that come with the bag may be good enough on
their own, but as just mentioned, I bought a big box of silicone
crystals and they go in there too.
How big a bag? - I bought one that was a size up from that
recommended. The main reason for this is that I like to jack the car up
on axle stands so the tyres don't get flat spots over the winter. Of
course in doing this, the car effectively becomes bigger (taller), so
you need the bigger bag!
Re-Use - The silicone crystals and canisters can be "regenerated" in a
household oven. It takes almost all day to do that at about 120 deg C
(as hot as they will stand - don't ask how I know!), but its a simple
enough process - you just have to pick a day that the wife is out of
town ;-)
I hope that helps, but if you need to know anything else, just ask.
Kind regards
Andy

Andy
Is that a PermaBag?
I was wondering about one for storage at our place in Florida.
(salt in
the sea mist)
$1000 is cheaper than garage AC/dehumidifier.
How is the in and out time?
Any other guidance?

Hi Jeff,
Yes it does have the original brakes still on it. The car is
in a
climate bag for the winter but I should have some photos or
something I
can supply later this evening.
Kind regards
