Call ahead before doing this to make sure they still have and use the stuff.

Your best bet would be to store it in a location that has dry air. In a bag of rice would help but I prefer to use the moisture absorb packs like the reusable ones you can use is a gun safe. I have even heard that storing it in a cool location also helps or even moving it from a warm than cold than warm,… location will help move the moisture out of the air inside of the unit (with the moisture absorbent packs in a sealed container).
Those little bags have desiccant in them and they do work very well. We used that stuff in all our naval photo systems in fighter aircraft (RF8G Crusaders).
