For only 6 months probably nothing!
wd40 the bare metal perhaps, but otherwise try and make sure its put away dry and make sure the box is ventilated

Change oil, Coolant, Warm up new oil to drive moisture out, Replenish battery, recharge and disconnect, Trickle charger is a good idea. Changing
Barake fluid too, as absorbed moisture may produce corrosion in the lines.
There is a product like shrink wrap (not locost) that you make a cover, with a sun powered vent to keep inside air low in moisture.
Inflate tires to a little bit above normal, put in jackstands.
i´ve read somewhere else that you may spray WD40 on the intake on the last couple of second you run the engine, don´t know if it´s worth it.
Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....

Make sure air can circulate in and out of the box trailer to stop condensation..

Yeah, i would say the main thing is to make sure the box is vented.
- I have a 3" gap and the back where i extended the hight but not the tailgate and leave the front flap ajar about the same amount. Before i
did this it was always wet inside.
