I have stored my 192, covered, for the winter. I live in rainy western Washington. My questions are:

1. Should two windows be slightly opened or
2. Should I use one of those dehumidifier pots to collect the moisture and dry and reuse the crystals or
3.  Should I do neither?

Thanks for your input!

Bill

I go with windows shut and the large Damp-Rid bucket. That is one that you take the lid off and set it in there and it absorbs the moisture.

Stephen, thank you! That is what I was considering. Will see if Amazon has them.

If not, your local Lowe's or Home Depot should have them.

Damp Rid is an excellent product.  I use it during the winter months in northern Michigan in the storage area on a 177.  Have never had the need to put inside the pod, but for some reason the storage area tends to get a bit of a musty smell over the 5 months it is stored if I don't use the damp rid.

For what it's worth I got a pack of six 11-ounce mini buckets of Damp-Rid at BJ's a couple of weeks ago for about $18. I figured I'd stick two at a time in there and check on them every couple of weeks. The TT is being stored offsite so I'll need to check on it periodically anyway.
