I would like to store my Hobie Inflatable inside my van when not in use in whole summer and planning to put it in my parents basement during whole winter. Will it cause any bad effect if I put it in my van during summer time? Thanks in advance for your input! |

Now this really depends on what your van situation is... is it under a carport, inside a garage and the weather condition. I live in southern California, so it can get upwards of 100+ inside the car easily during the summer inside a car if left outside, so I would probably never put it in the car for an extended time in the summer, spring, or fall time. I would imagine it will degrade if left in high heat for a long time. Also it does smell pretty strongly for a bit. Now with that said. I do take it out every Friday afternoon, slightly hose it off before stuffing it back in the trunk, drive home and park it inside a garage, now I won't drive that car until Saturday and Sunday for the next outing, we would take my wife's car. It will stay inside the car until Sunday morning when I am done with it, I would take it out and rinse it for good and dry it and put it back in the bag out of the car. I have also done my share of traveling in minivan and camping up and down the coast during the summer back when I was in college, so I would say this... very good clear window tint that blocks UV light is a good start, and a slight ventilation using sunroof etc is also a good start if you do have to keep it in the van, also apply 303 protection thing, like once a week maybe. Might still be not enough but do what you can to keep the temp lower in the van. |

Thanks for your reply. The problem is I just rented a small room in a condo and no extra space to store in my room and I have no choice to put my i11s in my van. I am in Canada and most of the time the temperature is around 23 degrees cecelius. I hope it is ok. |
