Dehumidifier or AC + space heater?

Dehumidifier is large, size of carry-on luggage, and space in a "C" is at a premium. Piano-tuna said he "tricks" his AC (into running more to remove moisture) by running a heater simultaneously, effectively creating a dehumidifier.

This seems clever, logical and appealing; any reason a dehumidifier would perform better? Slightly lower noise is the main advantage I see.

There is no reason to have a huge one as you describe.

Go to Lowes and pick up a SMALL dehumidifier. I bought one and it makes a BIG BIG difference in assisting your ac in when RV'ing in the south.

I place it midship off to the side doesn't take up any room and is not in the way. you can either empty the cup when it fills with water or run the drain line also included to the shower.

I find it hard to believe that the breaker wouldn't keep blowing with both a space heater and ac on and IMHO it wouldn't help the ac anyway.:R

Adding a small dehumidifier to assist the ac getting the moisture out of the RV does. Just saying.
