"Dry-Z-Air" is a white granulated product that goes in its dispensor.  It
combines with water and then drips to its self-contained catch basin, which
you drain every month or so.  It is a product, I believe, made here in
Seattle and is sold everywhere, including Home-Mega-Depot.  You replace the
product in the top compartment every so often.  It is good. ph

I don't know what dry ze air is, but there is a product called Goldenrod
that is touted to eliminate dampness, available from Real Goods
(www.realgoods.com or 800-762-7325).  I have only started using it myself
and I don't know if it is causing the moisture/mold to receded or if that is
happening because it is starting getting cold out.  On any account, it costs
$39.95 for a 18" rod that is plugged in and heats up to 125'F using only 18
watts AC.

A recent poster mentioned the use of a desiccant called "Dry-Z-Air" for
removing moisture from inside his Westy during periods of storage.  Can
anyone explain exactly what this product is and where a "Dry-Z-Air" or
similar product can be obtained at what cost?

Thanks,

Tony
