I live in northern Illinois so shouldn't be a problem. And according the the manufacture the whole idea of recirculating the air 3-4x an hour is to prevent moisture. Sorry don't mean to hijack the thread.

Car capsule may work for those who put their car in storage for the winter but everyday usage would be one big PITA.

Exactly what I plan on doing. She goes into storage around Nov 1st and won't see daylight until around April-May. This would be perfect from stuff getting anywhere near it.

Default cover option

I know there are several very nice fitted covers you can buy but my preference is 6 very large flees blankets draped over a clean car then a loose large indoor car cover over top the blankets I owned a c6 GS did this ever time I parked it never had a scratch on the car ever ! I am not big fan of tight covers all you are really trying too do is keep dust off it so why the tight fitted cover ??

Personally, if I were going to just leave my car covered for a month or more at a time, I would buy an outdoor cover. They don't let the smaller particles pass through very easy, are heavy enough not to move, and ad some cushioning in case some one puts something on the car. I have a Covercraft NOAH http://www.covercraft.com/us/en/prod...r-cover.C-CCNH
I use mine outside when the car is outside for the day when I need the garage for something else - usually waxing the other vehicles; or when it is stored for the winter. Here's a picture outside with the cover on.

Can you find a less expensive cover, absolutely. But you will not be able to find a better looking, softer indoor cover than the GM OEM C7 cover the answer is no.




Nice!

Can you provide a part number, please?

I really want one of these but the reviews on Amazon say it won't fit in a standard 2 car garage. I live in a townhome and have the standard 20x22 ft garage. Don't see why it wouldn't fit.
I just got one for my 76 Vette. It's the 16 ft version and takes a lot more space than I thought it would. I still like it but the size of it is a little too much! It rounds itself out when filled up with air and looks like it rounds out like 1 ft. on all sides. From your photo, you may not have enough room? The CarCapsule will probably be up against the car on the left. It is also taller than I thought. I will use mine but it is a bit different from what I visualized in my mind.
