I keep a 1967 Caddy in a Duramax Vinyl Garage. I have plenty of vents and a attic gable exhaust fan moving air but still having problems with moisture. Anyone know if foam insulation will help or have any ideas?? THANKS Bill
NY, huh? I feel your pain! ***uming that you don't heat the enclosure to keep the car's surface temp above the dew point temp, you are going to have condensation issues in an enclosure that can't be sealed tightly.
I saw a gadget called a Goldenrod (I think that was the name) in an RV place. You plug this thing in and it generates enough heat to drive out minor moisture so you RV doen't smell musty/mildewie(?). ...and here it is...:http://www.goldenroddehumidifiers.com/
I'm not a fan of foam insulation on anything like ceiling joists and floor joists. I've seen heavy mold growing on it. I know alot of people preach this stuff but for what I've seen and the cost also I don't think you'll recover your money. Not that this stuff wouldn't work but I've seen alot of bad stuff with it over the last few years. It either works real well or not at all. For your moisture problem you need figure out where it is coming from and then go from there. If it is coming up through a floor such as dirt, there's little to be done. Cement still is pourious and allows some moisture also. You might end up either heating and cooling the area to help. Use a whole house dehumidifier. It just all depends. Hope this helps.
It's on a cement floor, I put in a dehumidifier and it helps a little. Thanks to all for advice, I'll keep searching internet. keep the '57 Olds in daughters garage, Caddy is to big!!
