| The CarCapsule
The perfect solution for long-term storage.
The CarCapsule is a clear vinyl bubble that seals your car, truck, boat or motorcycle away from the elements and keeps it looking fresh and new. Dust, dirt, moisture and insects are locked out, but a built-in fan circulates filtered air within the bubble to eliminate that musty, damp smell that can ruin your stored car.
The super-tough vinyl bubble is made from an anti-static, 10 mil PVC. The durable zipper is 100% nylon, so it won’t scratch your vehicle. The CarCapsule is impervious to oil, gas and antifreeze and is mildew resistant and flame retardant. Available in a variety of sizes to fit most any car, truck, boat or motorcycle (see "Size Info" tab, above). Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. |

Frequently-Asked Questions
Q.) If the CarCapsule brings in the air from the outside, doesn’t it also bring in the moisture from the outside? How does the vehicle stay dry?A.) The CarCapsule does not eliminate humidity -- it eliminates condensation. The fan exchanges the air volume about 3 to 4 times per hour. This constant air change and air flow prevents hot air and cold masses from meeting. This eliminates condensation, keeping the vehicle completely dry no matter what the temperature or humidity level. Q.) If I put my car away wet, what will happen?
A.) The CarCapsule is an evaporative system. The constant air change will evaporate all moisture in a matter of hours. This will prevent rust from the exterior parts while eliminating mold and mildew from the interior. Q.) Should I leave the windows up or down inside the CarCapsule?
A.) You should leave the windows either down all the way or at least half the way down. If you have a convertible the top should be put up so that it will not trap moisture in the compartment it is stored in. This will let the air circulate throughout the interior keeping it dry and odor free. Q.) How much room does the CarCapsule take up?
A.) Once inflated, the CarCapsule takes up about 1 foot on either side of the vehicle. The front and back depend on what size CarCapsule is used. Q.) How do you get the vehicle in the CarCapsule?
A.) The CarCapsule uses two zippers that run around the base mat to the back where the fan is located. Just unzip and roll the upper shroud towards the fan. Pull the vehicle on to the base mat and roll the upper shroud over the vehicle. Zip up the unit and plug in the fan. The CarCapsule takes about 5-10 minutes to inflate. Q.) What happens if I get a hole in it?
A.) The upper shroud is made of 10 mil PVC. If you do happen to puncture the unit, the manufacturer recommends that you repair the damage with a piece of clear 100% PVC shipping tape. This will bond to the upper shroud and will not come off. Q.) What if the power goes out?
A.) The cover will deflate and turn into a regular car cover. When the power returns it will re-inflate in a matter of minutes. We do have a cigarette lighter adapter cord that can be run off of a 12 volt power supply for prolonged power disruptions or for use at car shows. Q.) Do you have a CarCapsule that will fit my pick-up truck?
A.) Yes, but we recommend that you verify the height of your truck and compare it with the heights listed (see the Size Info tab, above). Q.) Do you need to use another cover with the CarCapsule?
A.) You do not need to use another cover with the CarCapsule. This will only block air from circulating in the interior and might trap moisture. Q.) Can the CarCapsule be used for short-term storage?
A.) The CarCapsule can be used for short-term, long-term or anything in between. It takes about the same time to use as a regular car cover except for the inflating of the unit. This takes just minutes. |

Additional Information:- Base mat is made from a laminated fabric
- Flame retardant materials
- Mildew and rot resistant
- Upper shroud is 10-mil PVC, clear double polished and radio-welded
- High-pressure 12-volt fan produces 50CFM of volume
- Scratch-resistant zipper is 100% nylon
CarCapsule Setup Instructions:- Place the CarCapsule on a flat surface, with the fan end near a power source, in a location that gives you access to the zippers. The intake should be away from outside doors and heat sources (note that the CarCapsule is for indoor use only).
- Insert the fan panel into position, smoothing out the Velcro.
- Push the male connector through the slit in the basemat. Connect the male end to the female end connector of the fan motor.
- Starting at the fan end, carefully drape the clear center section over the vehicle's hood, roof and trunk. Zip both zippers closed to secure the tops and sides.
- Plug the 12V transformer into your wall outlet and your CarCapsule will start to inflate. After the bubble is completely inflated, insert the filter by pushing the brim inside the flap around the fan.
To increase airflow through the cover to dry wet vehicles (or to regulate the air pressure in extremely hot weather), simply readjust the rear zipper closure to allow more air to flow through the capsule. Typically, the CarCapsule will change its air volume 3 to 4 times per hour.
