Since you say you have a solar panel I'm guessing its hooked up to a 12 volt battery. I would try a 12 volt oscillating fan to keep the air moving some. worth the try and I'm glad you fogged the engine.

I don't know if people typically use them on trailers but sailboat people seem to use solar powered fans like these:

Seal it up and put a dessacant in there, a 5 gallon bucket of salt in the corner (not dumped every where) a very dry hay bail can absorb moisture.
You could heat it till it thaws and dries with an electric heater then open the doors and blow out the moist warm air and let it fill with cold dry air and seal it back up. Don't use a propane heater as a by-product of combustion is water.
