Hi Jerome

We usually store our Westy with a small ceramic heater placed inside to
keep condensation out. I leave the skylight open a crack, or a side
window to help vent unneccessay humidity at first, then once I feel it
is dry enough I tighten things down. I also remove the upper bunk
cushions to increase better air circulation to prevent the infamous
mold  spots on the on the poptop. But that is us here in rainy
Vancouver. I would love to hear other suggestions for outside storage. I
guess outside storage depends on where one stores it, the temperature,
the humidity, the elements, etc.

Peace!
