Not sure if this will help in your situation but I use a soft car cover on the Tuscan in the garage. I also put several cheap dehumidifiers in the footwell to help keep any electrics and other interior bits dry. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005MZ1EJE?psc=...
I had a damp garage when we moved in. It was an old stable block with an exposed pitched clay tile roof.
When I first started to use it I was finding that tools were quickly going rusty and the Tiv was getting covered with dust and bits of chipped tiles. In essence, completely the wrong environment for storing my P&J.
For a brief period in an attempt to protect the paintwork and internals I used a microfleece cover and gel satchets. Unfortunatrely I found damp was building up under the cover which started the process of micro blistering. Since then I have been very reluctant to use a car cover unless the car and the environment are completely dry.
The first thing I did was to install a ceiling, nothing fancy just a chipboard floor above resting on exposed wooden joist and things improved dramatically. The tools stopped going rusty and the damp inside and outside of the car was significantly reduced.
I purchased a desiccantant dehumidyfier a couple of years ago ( http://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/Meaco_8L_Desicca... ), which I run durring the winter which not only reduces the humiddity but also generates a little warmth, so P&J is now as snug as a bug in a rug.
