    Car Storage
    I plan on storing my classic Mercedes outside during the winter in northern climes in a waterproof storage tent. If I add a fluorescent bulb constantly burning inside the vehicle, will that reduce damaging moisture and mildew levels? Thank you.

    Don't do that, just find some descant bags and place them in there. You'll be fine.

    These are the bags of silica gel you find in most packaging nowadays. They absorb moisture. Larger bags can be found but where, I don't know right now. I found this site for you to see exactly what they do. Desiccant City: Desiccant Frequently Asked Questions
    I put lava rock bags under my seats, they absorb odors. Also, Charcoal briquettes help absorb moisture and odors. Put them under the seats and let them remain while stored.

Gun storage [ 1 Answers ]

I inherited several rifles, pistols, and reloading equipment. My wife immediately made an offer I'm considering. She said if the guns come, she goes! I'd hate to see her go, maybe there gun dealers that store guns for a fee? I live in the middle of Florida and I'm willing to drive.
