Dehumidifier vs. Air-Dryr

[jdorant]

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has used a device like this:

and what are your thoughts on these air-dryr's vs. using a dehumidifier? They seem to get rave reviews and they are much cheaper. I am wondering as I will be winter camping in NH near Lake Ossipee. It's typically very cold here and the walls will get wet when the camper is occupied and have been told a dehumidifier is a must.

We used a mechanical dehumidifier in our old JayFlight and now the same one is installed in our new Greyhawk. I run the heater to keep the temperature above 50f. I have the dehumidifier set to its lowest setting of 35% RH and to automatically shut off when the set point is reached. This setup kept the JayFlight water free all winter for more than 7 years. This is the only way to go especially if you use your coach in the fall, winter, spring when it is wet and humid. I learned this the hard way when we were camping and got caught in a snow storm. We had the heat on and 5 people in the trailer. We had so much humidity it was running down the inside walls. Now we don't even have problems with foggy windows except at the cab section of the motorhome.

We use a dehumidifier and it takes out a ton of water out of the air. I would say 3-4 gallons over the winter. Our trailer is covered and has the bathroom vent opened about half an inch to keep air circulating

If I forget to close the vent the dehumidifier works too hard. I would close the vent. That works best for us. You can't dehumidify the entire outside.
