Someone recently told me that the rust isn't so much from the moisture but it's from the drying phase. In Washington State, where it's wet a lot, cars and bikes don't rust so much. So I'm going to try coating everything with oil or WD40 and see if that makes a difference. It may require frequent re-coating, but it may be worth it.
