Re: [RC] FW: [RC] Mildew in trailer - Ed and Wendy HauserThere are two things other things that can be done. The fact that it is an Al or metal trailer is not a factor. Thge fact that the compartments are sealed is. There is no ventalation to remove any moisture from the interior. If the outside humidity is low enough, more ventalation will solve the problem. I have fitted my tack compartments with louvered vents, two per compartment. These are the kind that are sold at discount lumber yards to insert in the sofit of a house for ventalation. Since WI is quite humid during the summer, I attached a computer cooling fan to one in each compartment. When turned on it uses 12 V DC to move a gentle current of air and dries things. I do plug in, but these fans do not draw much power. An other way would be to add a smidge of ventalation, and install either a low wattage 120V light (careful of fire) or a 25 W, heater sold at gun shops for dehumidifying gun cabnets, to each compartment. The warmth will lower the humidity and thus prevent mold. A dehumidifier will work probably better, , but requires more money and more money to run.
