<VV> car cover/moisture

[R. Byers]

Several collectors, who had gone to great expense on their cars, convinced me
of the wisdom of a constant air stream underneath the car to prevent
condensation.  This was in addition to their temperature and humidity
controls.
One of the most critical things involved with keeping a car inside any space
is condensation on the undercarriage.  The results of undercarriage
condensation is more than just surface rust. This tends to work itself into
areas we cannot see, initially and then into areas we do.  While it is all
well and good to have humidity controlled areas, this rarely affects what is
happening between the car and the floor, whatever surface it may be.
Regardless of the type of floor, I believe that the best and easiest
protection is a flow of air underneath the car.
I find it invaluable to have a fan blowing air the length of the car.  Of
course, I suppose some have fans specially made for that purpose, but the
effect can be duplicated by a small fan that can be turned on while, say, the
garage or workspace is being used.  I use a small fan made for a window that I
have mounted on the floor in front of the cars.  They are fairly inexpensive
and reasonably efficient.
