As Steve says, salt could attract moisture from anywhere. However, when I had a caravan I put a dish of table salt in the front and the back of the caravan. It did seem to attract moisture and the caravan always felt dry, but more importantly in my view, it also seemed to act as an air freshener and the van always smelled clean and fresh while it was in storage.

I also put citronella blocks (the type you hang in wardrobes) in the toilet, wardrobe, and the cupboards to deter any creepy crawlies and of course made sure there were no crumbs, forgotten packets of biscuits or other food remnants left inside as these are certain to attract rodents.

I used to store mine in a farm barn and never had a problem with mice, although the farmer used to put down trays of poison to control rats so perhaps the mice didn't stand much chance.

I wouldn't have thought salt would attract mice...cows maybe!

I have used a bowl of salt in our van for years with no problem the van always smells fresh if there is a lot of moisture in the van the salt will go hard if not it will stay soft.

a dehumidifier works by drawing air thro it so if the air is damp out side it just pulls it thro the gas drop holes thats why they fill with water so fast .
