    When I have seen these at the shows I have sort of wondered the same thing. Here in Florida with 90% humidity on a good day I would think the tendency would be to suck moisture in.......as well as dust.

    I'll have to talk to the vendor at Turkey Run this year and pick his brain, just out of curiousity.

    Don,
    I just think that their advertising is a bit ...... exuberant.....that the truth might be a bit shaded. But the idea is good.

    Filters are cheap and easy. Dehumidifiers are as well. That ought to be good enough. A quality unit would have both of those features built in IMO.

    The California Car Cover company was selling them a few years back. They are not intended for outside use, the car needs to garaged. Plus you need electricity (not cheap anymore - unless you are backfeeding off your neighbor ) to run the fans and the inflation device. I would think condensation might be a problem in some locales.
