[QUOTE="Lambeau, post: 16625446, member: 105189"] [USER=137433]@blubyu87gt[/USER] - Thanks for your Service! Car Capsule stuff is expensive and customer service is kinda poor. I'll stop there. Never had a problem with rodents in a Car Capsule. That's the main reason why I use it. Does it work well enough to stop corrosion from condensation (freeze/thaw)? Yes, mostly. The frost just left our garage floor last week and I already had the car out, and the Car Capsule put away. So, I just ran a fan in the garage under the car. But the block, etc. weren't frozen either. I just wanted to keep the wet air moving. This is the one I bought back in 2010. A 16' is sufficient. [URL='http://carcapsule.com/carcapsule-16-indoor/']CarCapsule 16' Indoor[/URL] It was $325 back then? I've stored a car in this same Car Capsule for +10 years. - I'm on my second fan. I have a 2 spares. - One I ordered from Car Capsule mounted on the velcro pad. - One I ordered just the fan from amazon, then mounted and wired the fan to a plug myself. - I'm on my second transformer. - Both the NFG fan and transformer failed at start-up, not during use. - If you lose power, the bubble just deflates (like jerry nadler).
