This is my first winter season with The Unicorn. (Second winter with the Tii FunMobile.)
My underground garage is open to the elements on both ends; external stairway near my space and open garage door at the other end. I recently bought a hygrometer to hang in my parking space and it confirmed my worst fear: consistent 80% humidity during the winter months.
I can only imagine the look of horror on the faces of those from the drier States, but what about fellow E9ers in the Pacific NorthWest, or near the coast anywhere? I saw an E9 from Hawaii recently sold on BAT... How did that turn out?
I haven't had enough lift access to get into every nook and cranny, but I have sprayed or painted wax in all of the main points of concern (over the original cavity wax job done by the original owner, bless him). On visible areas I am using Owatrol Öl, the EU equivalent of Penetrol. It leaves a clear(ish) water repellent coat and does a good job of creeping into all of the seams.
I have it covered with a high quality breathable cotton cover from J.F. Stanley, who also makes a product called the "AutoPyjama", a seal-able cover that you can use with rechargeable desiccant canisters.
Has anyone any experience with this situation? Has anyone tried this "bag it and tag it" solution?
