Hibernation issues

[10/10ths]

Just buy a roll of Tyvek. It’s a moisture barrier. Lay it down and then roll your carpet over it and park on top.

The concrete is sweating.

Also, buy a dehumidifier and plug it in.

Drill a hole in the wall and route the drain tube from the dehumidifier to the outside.

It works.

I second that, I am in FL so I don't hibernate my car, but I don't drive it a lot between track days so it sits a lot. In my garage, any papers that get left out used to get wilted due to the humidity, but I run a dehumidifier too. I don't have the hole drilled in the wall (I wish I could but the way my garage is laid out, I can't easily do that) so I empty it out by hand when it fills, but it has really made a difference, and wasn't too expensive. Here is the one I have:

You can get yourself a little pump that will automatically turn on and off to drain the reservoir of the dehumidifier and run the hose from there to somewhere outside. My basement dehumidifier has such a setup.
