Frank,

I've used one of these in a boat cabin with great success:

Drill a hole in the reservoir and install a barbed fitting and some hose.
Sit the dehumidifier on the dash and run the hose out the vent window down
to the floor and away from the car and it can run the entire storage period
with no maintenance.

Hope it works as well for you as it does for me,

Warren
