I think the DSLR is relatively resilient. My D70 - since sold - looked better sealed than a traditional silver and cow bone one. The sensitive part in my experience is the lens. I've lost one lens to condensation/fungus, and another needed an expensive clean after having a swim in a silty stream. I've also written off a camera - Nikon F90x - after it accompanied the lens for a swim. It might be worth storing gear with silica gel. I have a large plastic box in which I place lenses and cameras with some silica gel when not in use. Silica gel often comes free with computers, so if you get deliveries at work, half inch the gel.
