Default Any problems with storage in garage?

Just wondering, im pretty sure nothing inside the turbines would rust being kept in my garage or trailer outside. That being said it never hurts to ask, I hate not having a shop outside to keep my stuff in. Thanks

As long as you can keep it in a dry place, you should be good.

When you say dry, do you mean like rain or water exposure, not humidity.

Mine are in the garage as well.....but I have a de-humidifier that run....well pretty much all the time, no rust on anything. And I don't live in a high humidity area, at least not like don't south.....underfloor heating for the winter.

Unless you can control the moisture don't take the chance. Here in my part of the world (north Idaho) there are times with snow on the ground we have a ground fog that makes everything wet or damp in unheated areas.
NOT WORTH THE CHANCE in my view.
I have replaced a lot of engine parts both for myself and others in years past........rusty and stored in cold damp areas.
