Humidity during long term storage
Do humidity levels differ from vehicles stored outside than those stored inside in a unheated building during winter months?

RVs are not 100% hermetically sealed, so I do like using some form of dehumidification when storing. That, or keep a set of windows open. I keep a side window open and the top vent when storing my rig in covered storage, just to keep air moving.
The best way I've seen a rig stored was with covered storage, a box made of filters over the top air vent, and the fan there turned on, in reverse, so air got sucked into the filter box and into the rig. This caused a positive pressure, which would keep insects out as mitigate dust. Of course, this was all under a pole barn, so rain couldn't get in.
The neighbor put his 5th wheel in inside storage and left a window open. A raccoon got into it through the open window and lived in it.. If that wasn't bad enough it was a female racoon and she had babies inside it on the bed. Thankfully his insurance covered this and they totaled it out.
