I've heard of guys in colder climates putting a small heater in the trailer of their fiberglass glider during the winter.

What are everyone's thoughts on that? Is it necessary?

I wouldn't (assuming LCD displays, batteries & water/freezable items were removed beforehand)..... Why?

1-Warm air hold more moisture (thus raising potential relative humidity..... bad thing for corrosion, etc.)
2-More inviting for critters to "show up and winter out"..... why would you do that?

Typical "inside trailer temps" would change slowly with weather changes. Thus limiting shock crazing of gelcoat and other materials.

Just my thoughts.
