Best RV Dehumidifier                            Dehumidifier for Campers or Trailers                            Non electric Dehumidifier for RV                            Closing Thoughts                            Related Articles        Should I Run a Dehumidifier in My RV?It may surprise you to learn that over twenty fluid ounces are lost by an individual both by breathing and natural perspiration in normal temperatures and average humidity levels.With greater activity levels, higher humidity, or hotter weather, that only increases.Also, if you\u2019re traveling or living full-time with a partner in the RV or you have dogs or cats, then they all add to the amount of moisture being generated too.Even when running an AC unit, it can only do so much to reduce the ambient temperature and address the humidity too. Considerable moisture is retained, especially in more humid locales or when more people or animals are in the RV. It then becomes a compounding problem.If you\u2019ve noticed the RV condensation on the windows in the morning, that\u2019s the result of excess moisture.While wiping down the windows does help, it doesn\u2019t prevent moisture from getting into material covers, foam, mattresses, floor rugs, walls, flooring, ceiling, etc.Only by using a dehumidifier solution can it reduce the humidity levels to safer levels.Read Also: How to Tell If RV Thermostat is Bad?Can You Use a Dehumidifier in an RV?Yes, it\u2019s possible to do so safely.A dehumidifier can be a disposable product that contains a desiccant. Interior non-electric desiccant dehumidifiers can be purchased, placed in different positions, and then soak up the moisture.Once the desiccant material has absorbed as much moisture as it can, the container can be replaced with a new one (they usually sell conveniently in packs).This type of solution isn\u2019t as effective or active as an RV dehumidifier, but it is helpful when the problem is more minor or isolated to one section of your camper, trailer, or RV.However, the freestanding desiccant dehumidifiers that plug into the electrical RV system are a better solution.They\u2019re more powerful and can collect moisture from a larger living space; not just one small section of it.Also, there are smaller and larger units to choose from.The former is portable, lighter, and easier to move into different living spaces while the latter is better for Class A, B, or C RVs, and larger towable trailers, campers, etc.  Read Also: Towing a Travel Trailer in High WindsDo I Need a Dehumidifier in My RV?If you\u2019re spending considerable time in hotter climates or ones where the humidity level regularly gets above 50%, then it\u2019ll be sticky and extremely uncomfortable.If so, it will begin to hurt your accommodations where materials or surfaces can become moist to the touch in extreme cases, and you\u2019ll feel the wetness in the air too.An excess of moisture is also bad for people with allergies, asthma or COPD sufferers, and anyone with a respiratory-related disease. Drier air in an RV is better in those cases.When thinking about how RV building materials, furnishings, and even electronics, are severely affected by moisture of any kind.It\u2019s fair to say that the long-term viability of your RV or towable, and what\u2019s inside of it, is at risk when humidity is too high.Therefore, an investment in a dehumidifier protects it.Read Also: How to Repair Delamination on RVWhat is a Good Humidity Level for an RV?A humidity level between 30 to 50% is what you should aim for. Typically, the drier the better to make the living environment more comfortable.With any level of occupancy and even part-time use, an RV or camper can have too much moisture inside even if the ambient humidity isn\u2019t so bad.Opening the windows won\u2019t help because it doesn\u2019t prevent the materials from absorbing the moisture. Only a dehumidifier is designed to do that.It is possible to use a Wi-Fi humidity monitor to check for elevated levels and receive alerts when that\u2019s the case.

With the higher capacity, better-quality brands can operate around the clock.The better models will have a greater capacity for moisture collection, perhaps a HEPA filter to clean the air too, and have other features such as a quiet mode for nighttime use (otherwise a 50dB level is likely).This freestanding model from Tenergy Sorbi has a HEPA filter system and operates at 45 degrees up to 122 degrees, so it\u2019ll be good for bathrooms and small parts of a larger RV:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mDOUTYV6iYIVideo can\u2019t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Tenergy Sorbi 1000ml Air Dehumidifier with Air Purifying Function, True HEPA Filter & Auto Shutoff (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mDOUTYV6iYI)Tenergy Sorbi 1000ml Air Dehumidifier.
