I've used a similar system for 10 yrs now. A giant car bag I purchased
for $120 and a large canister of silicant dis...something (heat in an
oven for 2 hours)that sucks up the moisture in the bag after you seal
it. Enough room in it for a car and two motorcycles.
The place is/was B.W. Inc. Brownsville MN. They now sell a smaller bag
for bikes ($65.00) Another place in Michigan makes a zippered bag you
drive on to and zip-up, also available for bikes. I'm not sure how
moisture proof it would be with air creaping thru the zipper?
Besides the moisture protection....mice control!!! I had them dropping
tiny turds in major quantities one winter and chewed up the wiring on a
snowmobile the next summer. Between the bag and boxes of decon around
it, I just have to sweep up mice bodies now.
Later....16" of snow this weekend predicted in MN.
