Since it is so humid here, I keep the van closed up tight, even the vents. I also keep two buckets of "Damp Rid" in the van, and leave the cabinets and fridge door open. I have to empty the buckets every couple of weeks. G. Matthew Bulley Bulley-Hewlett & Associates www.bulley-hewlett.com Cary, NC USA 888.468.4880 tollfree
