Hey guys and gals, I'm working on an in bed truck safe and I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with or ideas with what to do for a desiccant or corrosion resistance. Thanks in advance.

I use this in my home gunsafe (no power inside so I went with this one)

I use these and also recommend them. 10yr lifespan and easily recharged!

I use them also.
In the truck, i will venture you'll be recharging them every few days, making them a good investment.
I might have to check out the Eva Dry . . . right now, I just get those dessicant "tubs" from the dollar store and just swap them out occasionally. They seem to work pretty well up to this point. But if the Eva Dry lasts that long and at those prices, it would be better and more economical.

If you're using dollar store stuff. Check out the crystallized / silicate kitty litter, like tidy cat. I use that tied in a sock in ammo cans.

I like those Eva Dry units. I also use these sometimes, since they are smaller, esp. if I can find them on sale.
