Has anyone solved the humidity problem in your RV? Ours constantly registers in the high range. We use the exhaust fan during showers which helps, but airing out the rig is the only thing that really helps. Anyone try a dehumidifier? If so, which one worked? Big enough to make a difference but small enough not to be in the way?

I know at least 2 people who replaced that noisy little pi$$-ant bathroom fan with a Fantasic Fan, or similar, and they said that it really helps with both humidity and smell. Lyle |

After my last winter camping/hunting trip I am looking at a dehumidifier. Smallest I find is 30 pint. I'd like to find something physically a little smaller so it doesn't take up much room in the camper.

I have tested small counter-top dehumidifiers from Amazon. They did not perform will enough, in my opinion, to make a real difference. The stats the mfger claims their devices can achieve are with 90% at 90°F. No one has that kind of environment without having bigger problems. If ventilating doesn't fix the problem, I'll be getting a floor dehumidifier, leaving it in the shower when in use. I'll let you know if I did that.anyone see a problem with that approach?

If there is a possibility of freezing that condensate, you need to take measures to prevent that. Since you apparently want the condensate to go down the shower drain it will very slowly fill the gray tank so that needs to be left partially open or drained periodically. I do think that you have the correct idea, just try to position doors so that you get maximum air flow to the shower area and direct the water flow to the drain so that there is a minimum amount of water that can evaporate. |

Right you are. I was planning to dump the water outside since it's clean. I was using the shower location since that's where most of the moisture comes from and to keep it out of the way. Thanks for your comment. |
