Long storage in a humid area
what would prevent mold built up during a long storage in a humid area with no electrical connection? Thanks

My experience with things like Damp-Rid is that they work to their maximum ability (which may not be very much), then they stop working. And you have to monitor them constantly to make sure they're not hardening up.
I would try to find a way to have at least enough shore power to run a small dehumidifier. That may mean you have to invest in some solar power type devices. It may be costly to make power arrangements, but the cost of developing mold is much higher.
I use a full-size fan driven dehumidifier in our rig, set at 50% humidity. When the ambient humidity is high, I can empty the bucket every couple of days. I also run the air conditioner at about 80 degrees to help. But I'm in FL and find this to be a necessity.
I have one of these that I run in my office (converted out-building) to help control humidity, and it works quite well with minimum power draw. Check it out...the reviews are overwhelmingly positive:
Davis Instrument Air Dryer 1000C
This device would probably work well with a little bit of solar power and an inverter.
