dehumidifiers?
Took our maiden voyage over the weekend in our New 337. Everything appeared to work as it should. Biggest issue was condensation in windows (really bad). Cold temps and rain. Need suggestions on one or two dehumidifiers.

We use this dehumidifier (or one very similar) in our Solitude:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-30-pt...30LW/300734665
We empty it every day when we’re on the road during the winter months. I think it weighs like 30 lbs and we store it in the front bedroom closet when we travel. It has made a huge difference in moisture levels in the rv.
A lot of RVers use specialized, smaller dehumidifiers with good results. For us, the one I referenced works great.

I use EcoSeb Simple at home and RV. Uses desiccant wheel, very lightweight, quiet. Pulls out a lot of moisture.

We have had good results with this small compressor model that is light and quiet.

I put vent covers on and leave the bath vent open. This helped our condensation issue greatly.

We use https://www.amazon.com/Danby-DDR060B...dp/B06XQ9DYQY/ in our 337RLS. run it overnight in the living area and keep the bedroom door open. It pulls out gobs of water overnight.
You can digitally set target Humidity and it will cycle off when it reaches the target. It totally eliminated the condensation on the inside of the windows and walls on cold damp nights.
Here’s some of the sweating condensation we were getting on some inside walls before using the dehumidifier.

Wow, never come anywhere close to those moisture levels. Dual pane must really help. We have a couple of the charcoal type water absorbtion plastic tubs that have been used for 6 months and even they haven't filled up! And it hasn't been a dry year in Pa. 30 inches over normal!
Love the dual pane even more now!!Jim and Belinda H. Pa.

I use one similar to the one Tim340 posted. We've had it for years. Actually I mainly use it at home when the trailer is stored to keep moisture and mildew down. We'll bring it camping when it's cold. Camping this weekend and expecting nights of 29 -30. So we'll have it along. Rather have it and not need it... At the time I looked for a smaller one and really didn't find anything decent. We've used the damp-rid buckets and never really was impressed and always worried about dumping one over. It has the extra benefit of warming up the air so acts as a second heater.

New owner here with limited experience but simply running the vent fan today removed all of our condensation that had built up overnight.
