Leave your gear in the bathroom

Hi,

Seems no matter what I do, when I go from inside to outside in the tropics my f/2.8 300mm and f/2.8 400mm are fogging up.

I'm also concerned about my 1DX and 1DXMKII

The ONLY solution I can see is leaving them outside but in the tropics, I'm worried about moisture again...

Here is my question,

What period of time is safe to "assume" that all moisture is off all internal/external lenses and mirrors in the bodies... With the cameras sitting in the sun to dissipate moisture?

I'm sure even slight remanents and effect focus and electronic contacts... Thank you.

I learned a trick from a NG pro: Leave your gear in the bathroom in the tropics as the bathroom climate is more like the outside climate. It may not work everywhere, but I have used the trick a couple.
