Just pick up a colander / strainer at the local dollar store, and find a pail that it can sit on (I found a small mop bucket at the dollar store that worked perfectly). Pour some generic calcium chloride into the colander, and moisture will be trapped and directed into the pail. Dri-Z-Air is the commercial stuff, but I get the generic version for cheap at the local RV place.

I use something similar but get silica gel. It's not a gel-it looks like salt. You can get it for cheap at a craft store, it's used for drying flowers. I put it a 1/2 inch deep in an open shoe box. When you're done, it can be dried in the oven, put into a baggie for storage, and re-used over and over. I've used this for years storing cars over the winter to keep the insides fresh and dry.
