Experienced Observation: - cold outside - warm. moist air inside - equals lots of frost on the inside of all body panels. Frost accumulation inside next to the metal and in the insulation equals lost of water when it thaws, and lots of water in those places equals rusting panels.

In Alaska - big problem. Same in northern tier states. Not only does it happen in cars, It happens in houses there too. In my shop in Alaska moisture would accumulate in spots next to the metal roof where insulation was too thin, then when it would warm up, it would rain inside the shop. Water dripped from all over. Messy, destructive, a royal pita!

Get a dry type heater like the Propex, or even a Suburban. Never had a Propex, but my Suburban heater worked great up there. in the far north country.

I'm doing it right now, but with a re-filled 1 LB cylinder which never seems to refill completely. I'll see what I get. > Courtney > > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > Always be yourself, because the people that matter don't mind, > and the ones who mind, don't matter. > >
