It is not just the humidity but the temperature varience in the cold months. Even in summer it happens. This is why when you start up any car that has been sitting you get water out of the exhaust....accumulated condensation. You will not eliminate it with fans, covers, etc. for those of you that think they have an adequate system in place hetre's a nice experiment. The brake rotor deal is not enough because of the composition of the rotor. Take as small piece of tool steel, polish it up, clean it good, and place it on the floor next to the car. I'd bet within 3-4 weeks you're in for a surprise. Ive learned over many years, from a lot of good restoration folks what this issue does and a lot more is going on that you do not realize with fasteners, clamps, hardware, first, then more noticable degradation.
Only two systems absolutely proven to work....dry heated storage or air exchange system.
