Experienced Observation: - cold outside - warm. moist air inside -
equals lots of frost on the inside of all body panels. Frost
accumulation inside next to the metal and in the insulation equals lost
of water when it thaws, and lots of water in those places equals rusting
panels.

In Alaska - big problem. Same in northern tier states. Not only does it
happen in cars, It happens in houses there too. In my shop in Alaska
moisture would accumulate in spots next to the metal roof where
insulation was too thin, then when it would warm up, it would rain
inside the shop. Water dripped from all over. Messy, destructive, a
royal pita!

Get a dry type heater like the Propex, or even a Suburban. Never had a
Propex, but my Suburban heater worked great up there. in the far north
country.
