I have a double-wide with a crawlspace that's about 2.5' high throughout. Would it be safe to keep food that has been packed in mylar and buckets down there? I don't have much storage space without that and am hoping that someone will have some experience. My skirting is actually concrete block with brick facing so it's pretty substantial, and it has vents on all sides that can be closed during cold weather. I've been here since 2012 and have never had a leak under there, even when we had those really cold, cold nights in February this year.
Also, I was wondering if anyone has any experience digging out some of the dirt between the support columns. I'll have to measure, but it looks like they're about 8' apart throughout; the house is tied down to the ones along the outside. Would it be possible to dig out some in between them to increase my storage ability? I know I need to stay away from the support columns, but don't know how far away from them I need to stay.
