Topic: Humidity? Posted: 14 Dec 2017 at 6:22pm |
What do you recommend for humidity? Both when not in use and when being used?
Our climate can be very humid and I will be using my camper 1-2weekenda a month,maybe more,year round. My parents keep a large humidifier in their permanently parked 5th wheel and we run it for about a week before they get here get and during their stay. We empty out a couple of gallons per day from it. Should I get a small humidifier for my trailer? Run it full time or just while in use?

I use a small EvaDry dehumidifier in my RPod 179 and it does pretty well. If you click to the link below it will take you to one of my YouTube Videos where I talk about it. You can search Amazon for EvaDry Petite Dehumidifier if you'd like one.

When stored I use DampRid and I am always amazed at the amount of water that comes out.

Hey There, You said you use a EvaDry Petite. I looked on Amazon and couldn't find out how much noise it puts out. I sleep with a small desk fan blowing on me, and i like the white noise it puts out. I have a 2 gal dehumidifier in the garage that puts out a good bit of noise. It stands about 24" high and about 12 X 12 and would really be to much. (also cost over $100, more commercial grade) Thanks,

The EvaDry Petitie is very quiet in my opinion. I demo it in the video on Top 5 interior environmental helps on my YouTube channel (link below). Don’t expect it to pull humidity out quickly. It does help, but it isn’t huge.

Can I drain it off into the sink? Will I need to modify it?

It has a small reservoir that you can easily dump into the sink. You can see it fairly easy on the YouTube video I put together:

Don't modify it. It is designed to dump into its own tank. Worked a boat fire where the owner got tired of going by the marina every other day to dump his so he put a fitting in the tank and ran some 1/4" tubing into the sink. The unit was designed to cool down when the tank was full. In his modification it never cooled down, caught fire one day and totaled his new-to-him sailboat that he was getting ready to sail from TN to the gulf.

Something I would have never thought of!
I ended up getting the evadry 2200: it may be too big to keep it in while camping but should be good for storage. I can always get a little one for while we’re camping. Now,mouse control? I’d like to keep the bedding in the camper but I’m worried about mice.

There are lots of dehumidifiers on the market in addition to the Eva-dry. Comparing them is difficult because the manufacturers don't use the same metrics to describe them. After casually browsing this review, it seems like the larger units are rated at 70 pints, and the most quiet are around 43 dba.
If we get one of these, I guess I am going to be reading a while. |
