P700 Condensation in cargo trailer

[Bulldog-in-a-Pioneer700]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site as of October 2020, and appreciate your insight. I keep my 2021 Pioneer 700-2 inside an enclosed cargo trailer. I have found the environment upon reopening to be damp and at times even water droplets are present on my ride, tools etc. Any suggestions?

Not sure how large they make them but have you considered desiccant packs or maybe rice? Welcome from Mississippi.

Thanks Mopower58. Will check into it.

Thanks Mopower58. Will check into it.

Down here in Mississippi it's always humid and warm so it's kind of a way of life here. Hopefully you can find something that will work. The only other thing might be insulate the trailer. Hopefully you can find a remedy.

Does the roof leak?

It’s more than likely from your machine it’s self.

your trailer is like a little green house...the moisture on the tires / machine is melting and evaporating during the day.

if you have a roof vent or window on your trailer all you need to do is open them.

Thanks Mudwing. I need to install ventilation. None, currently.

Sorry...meant Vikes79. Thanks.

Something like THIS is used in hunting camp trailers in the sticky south. It may fit the bill.

I use Damp Rid in a unheated mobile home that I use for storage only. Stuff would start getting mold on it until I started using that stuff. Works great.

+1 on the ventilation. I have a cargo container that does the same thing. Had to install vents high and low for the air temp to equalize and not condensate.

X3 on the ventilation.
My 2 40ft conex containers had the same issues until I cut in 2 small screened and shielded vents up high on either side.

Got to go one of two ways- vent it or seal it. The air needs to move in and out so not to have big temp changes. Or seal it tight and get the moisture out. These work good for that https://www.lowes.com/pd/DampRid-64-oz-Unscented-Bucket-Moisture-Absorber/50449432

But also don't load it up till it has cooled off. I ran into this with my generator box at our cabin. I would just put it up when leaving. Started to get a lot of moisture because motor was still hot. Now I let it set a hour or more before we leave.

Is this hauler insulated?

I rented a storage unit once and the lady highly suggested we put a open bag grilling charcoal in the corner and replace every 3-4 months. I being me didnt do it and cannot say whether it would help here or not. Maybe worth a shot though.

These vents are designed to be mounted on the sidewalls of trailers. They are two way vents so you can open them from either side for air flow in your trailer. They are typically mounted 1 on each side of the trailer - 1 up high towards the front of the driver's side and 1 down low near the rear...

I like these as they can be opened and closed. These are for the side walls.

a similar version exists for the roof.

Not insulated. Gonna cut myself in some vents, and also take the advice of letting things cool down before loading if possible.

Thanks for the info, Vikes79. I'll check into these.

You need insulation and ventilation

Like Vikes said, those side vents should do it. My enclosed came with them, one high on drivers side and one low on passenger side. They also serve the purpose of releasing built up gas fumes. That's good enough for cargo but also added a roof vent for when I'm in there.
