Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / March 2005Dehumidifier for the RV
I'm looking for feedback on how people control the humidity in their RV's. I've been looking at dehumidifiers but most that are used in the home would take up valuable space in the RV especially if you are not going to need it on a particular trip. I found a small RV dehumidifier while searching around and wonder if anyone has used this or know anyone who has? It is pretty costly but looks like it might do the job well. http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm?skunum=4655&src=SRQZ http://www.edehumidifier.com/rv.htm?OVRAW=RV%20dehumidifier&OVKEY=dehumidifier%2 0rv&OVMTC=standard Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.

I guess you could use a dehumidifier but in all the places we've gone we've never needed one. When the humidity becomes bad the heat is also usually pretty high so we use the air conditioners which are nothing but big dehumidifiers. If the humidity builds up inside because of it being cold outside just opening a vent a little and allowing the humid air to escape works. When not using the RV I leave the roof vents cracked open a bit and use the Damp Rid you can buy in Home Depot or Lowes. You could use a dehumidifier then but I've never seen the need living in the northeast. I believe the AC is an option on the Trail Cruiser but if you plan on going where it gets hot and humid you should really consider getting one, if you didn't. The canvas ends make it harder to keep cool but it will help, especially in the southern US. A powered vent works to keep things cooler in milder climates. IMO, you should have both. Take care and Happy Campin... RichA "We Get Too Soon Olde and Too Late Smart" Hi, Rich I just bought a dehumidifer for my bus conversion on eBay, $52.99= shipping. A little taller but a lot cheaper! http://search.ebay.com/dehumidifier_W0QQsofocusZbsQQsbrftogZ1QQfromZR10QQsacatZ- 1QQcatrefZC6QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQsellerZ1QQsassZ7e4_comQQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1QQcoactionZc ompareQQcopagenumZ1QQcoentrypageZsearch --Geoff '82 RTS CA > I'm looking for feedback on how people control the humidity in their RV's. > I've been looking at dehumidifiers but most that are used in the home would [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > '02 GMC Safari > '05 Trail Cruiser C19 I purchased one of those expensive one on the web, and think it works great! Our problem was camping in cold weather, and finding a couple of cups of water on those huge front windows. Kept a window cracked at night, but did not want to invite Jack Frost in with us. Place the dehumidifier on the counter near the sink, let it drain into the sink and no more water standing on the inside of the windows in the mornings. Small and easy to store when not in use.
