I tweaked my dehumidifier set up

I have (probably) the same model dehumidifier in my RV that you have and run it from October through April if I'm not using it. However, I do dump it every few days---jut did it a few minutes ago, in fact. It was almost full after only three days. I could run a hose extension outside but I like to check on the MH every few days, anyway. We do get sub-freezing temperatures here and I winterize. Going to do it this afternoon, in fact.

You would be correct. I FT in OR and WA. I'm currently staying put on the Olympic Peninsula until April. During the winter rainy season (which should have started by now), a dehumidifier is a must for anyone winter camping in the PNW. You can tell which RVers are not prepared for winter camping by the rivers of water droplets running down the inside of the windows of their RV. If folks can't deal with rain, drizzle and fog for 6 months then go to AZ.

Because of the very high humidity here in the winter, the dehumidifier runs darn near continuously and the collection bucket would fill up frequently and shut off the unit. I'm really lazy. I don't want to deal with removing it, emptying it, and putting it back in - every day. I prefer the continuous drain option. Since I leave the valve open on the gray tank all winter(1), the kitchen sink or the shower are the logical locations for the dehumidifier. I don't feel like lugging it in and out of the shower every day. The less I have to do, the happier I am.

For those who ask why I don't have the dehumidifier facing front, I'll tell you. The back side is a continuous source of warmed air - supplemental heat. I want that warm air flowing back into the living space. Anything that makes the space heater work less hard or keeps the furnace from burning propane is a good thing.

(1) park policy is for the guests run their water at a trickle on the nights at or below freezing - to keep their water hose from freezing. Leaving the gray valve open prevents the tank from overfilling and flooding the RV.

If you're draining the water into the sink, I'm assuming you don't winterize?
