If you didn't try it, don't knock it.

The hay absorbs the humidity no frost build up on car.

Run a cord out and put a lightbulb on a small sheet of aluminum under the car.

Thanks for the ideas. Since it's cold storage, with no power source, I'm going to crack the vent. It's on an acreage lot, with critters, so I hesitate to add bedding material, but I have to say, our central Canadian members winters make Minnesota winters look like trainer material. If I lived there, and could saunter out there a few times a week, I'd try the straw, salt and have some 110v bulbs going. Truth be known, it's probably always been there, I just wasn't able to access the trailer to look.

I usually put 3-4 of these out and refill them with the big economical refill bag as needed, I usually keep the car in the garage but when out there I noticed it does keep the condensation off the car which it did get in the past especially on the aluminum parts. BTW, I know you don't have power but when I put a drop light down by the motor to keep from freezing when going racing the next day I see my thermometer in the trailer up 8-10*.

BTW, if you do use Danp Rid keep it sealed up tight, my 24' Pace has no roof vents and I like it that way.
