Carcoon imo not so good due to it collapsing on the vehicle when deflated . Cant imagine dragging that over a dirty vehicle covered in road grime and grit, must scratch it surely , airchamber stays up with a frame and has side access doors as well as rear vehicle door ๐Ÿ‘
Thatโ€™s why I said get one with the frame :wink:

Not if the humidity is kept under control.
If I was looking to create an ideal environment for car storage Iโ€™d go overboard on insulation and get a decent dehumidifier.
