film warping due to moisture in the air, not necessarily dew condensing on
the film.. if it was just dew then heating the camera would prevent the
trouble.. and it does not.

You can build the dry air purge for dollars.. the most expensive part is
the aquarium pump and I have seen those for $5.00 . The desiccant can be
found in craft stores, its used to dry flowers and sold by the lb.

If you dont want to drill an air injection port just surround the whole
camera with a loose plastic bag, then inject the air into the bag.
