Hi Volks!
As most of you know, I am living in my westy (over 3 months now) and with
the colder weather setting in, I'm getting a lot of condensation inside. The
outside temps are between the teens with highs in the thirties with snow
likely. I am using an electric Holmes furnace heater and I'm staying nice
and warm, sometimes hot! I keep the top down in order to keep in the heat.
My problem is the condensation that is taking place. I will pop the top and
let it dry out some, but it is starting to collect a little too much! I'm
afraid of damage to the canvas and the moisture inside the walls rusting the
metal. I am having problems with web access so I can't get to the archives.
My mail server is OK.

Any ideas? Would a dehumidifier work in this case? They take up too much
room though.

Any insight appreciated
TIA
