Since it is so humid here, I keep the van closed up tight, even the vents.
I also keep two buckets of "Damp Rid" in the van, and leave the cabinets
and fridge door open. I have to empty the buckets every couple of weeks.

I leave the side windows OPEN (and screens in) all the time when the cover
is on, at least some air gets pushed through the van.  I use a generic van
cover from Canadian Tire, CDN$100.   Malcolm S
