Yes, I certainly would not want to be doing it for a weekend - its really
designed for seasonal use.
Kind regards

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 householdA 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.A 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 inA doing this, the car effectively becomes bigger (taller), so
you need the bigger bag!
Re-Use - The silicone crystals and canisters can be "regenerated" inA a
householdA 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
