Will I need to add dehumidifier inside my boat or will the fabric let water vapor through?

this is my first year using it but I believe it will be fine without a dehumidifier.

I did not use dehumidifier packets such as DampRid prior to covering my boat with the Vortex Heavy Duty cover. There are no vents in the cover however I do not believe I have a 100% water seal on the boat. Its never a bad idea though to use DampRid packets for winter storage of your boat.

I don't believe you have to do that but I'm not positive. This is my first winter with the cover. We are in central New York and are going through a real rough winter and the cover seems to be holding up very well though.

Well, it's made out of a foam-like material, so it would become damp. You might be able to pull it off though if you covered it with a plastic bag and taped it up so the water didn't get in.

It should be fine the breeze should move through with no problems. I'm going to be doing exactly that camping on the beach in about a month so will know better when I return.

I use it on my kayak , gets lots of saltwater splashed on it , rinse off with fresh water after use and kept in container with mini dehumidifier in it to remove moisture.

It has a significant rubber gasket seal. I'm unsure about why you would want to add a desiccant to it. It's perfectly suitable for storing valuables on a boat, including paper. If your looking for a long term burial container, there are probably better/cheaper single use solutions. I use several for emergency kits in vehicles. I store bandages, sutures, candy bars, candles flashlights etc.

Hi thanks for your question. A little moisture will be fine however submersion of glasses with labels is Jo recommended. Trust ths assists.

It needs to have flowing air behind it of some kind. We had it with a door cracked behind it. Otherwise your house or room will be dropping in moisture.

I would say not waterproof. We have the sail hung at an angle, and water runs off, not through. However, during heavy rains our deck will be wet underneath.

I am not sure it's designed for a humid installation, but if it is, I would.

I use it on a boat too. Don't think I would consider it "water proof", but it gets splashed on once in a while.

This is a nonvented heater so it does produce water vapor. My park model is not very tight so that is not much of a problem for me, but if your unit has tight windows and doors you will build up some moisture inside.

I would seal in zip locks, just to be safe, because mine did allow a little moisture in. I followed the instructions explicitly, but the fabric itself allowed some water to weep through.

It will dehumidifi. Just the air circulation should help your problem,after you clean the mold up with some bleach.

Mine is outside on a boat dock and it is not a problem. In fact today it is being rinsed by a light rain.

moisture is not a problem. I am more concerned with spills and such. One story home do not need sound barrier or anything like that.

We love it and have it under a overhang on our deck. It does have slats on the top and sides that have small openings (1/4"ish) and louvre front so I would imagine if it were set in direct weather things would get wet inside eventually. We plan to put a piece of plastic on the top to help keep things even more dry. Hope that helps!

I would recommend a silicon sealer when installing this item; also my application through hull on my fiberglass boat was no problem; There is adequate allowance for the thickness of any vehicle auto or marine; Just make sure that the surface is not curved when the hole is drilled in order to avoid slippage and any potential leak.
