Why not store it at a climate controlled facility for those months?     Less
worry, less mold, less rust, etc.

Hello Ole Truckers:



Firstly I live in Western Washington State with all of our winter moisture
issues.



Year before last trailer stored my 55-1st for 3 months with not too good of
results - all non-coated bolts had a layer of rust - not pitted but heavy
coating - no trailer leaks. Truck now is enclosed  - with all glass but no
doors or front vent seals.



Now have top vent opened position cover allowing vent to be opened 100% of
the time if desired & keeps the weather out ( top vent closed before ). Now
with top vent open & one at each end smaller - 3'' D always open vents
should allow some air flow if desired.



What would anyone recommend as precautions to avoid it smelling old at the
end of March- assume vents open - doors open / closed - constant fan ??



Any suggestions appreciated,



Jim

55-1st   350 LT1 / 4L60E
