              i used an air-chamber with Worthers, great piece of kit. didn,t have to fart about putting it and down. The car did get wet once putting it back in, the next morning it was bone dry albeit with rain marks on the car. I would recommend one without a doubt, kept the car moisture free for less than a tenner a year, so i think i got about a fivers worth I think the size was small to medium. Went in a standard size garage with no problems and the little fans really pushed the sides out and created alot of moving air

                      I have one of each.

                      Size 4 carcoon for an Escort. Works well for long periods of storage.

                      My Cair O Port is medium sized.... 5mtrs x 2.5 mtrs. Gits in nicely into my 6mtrs garage. A small one is 4.4mtrs x 2mtrs.

                      Critical point is the height if you have an up and over door.

                      Here they are.....the carcoon has just been plugged in

                              I phoned carcoon direct and asked them if they had a refurbed one. Got it for £200 plus £10 p+p. Good as new.
