I bought a dehumidifier the smallest one Sears had. We run it in the living room at night and in the bedroom in the day. I don't run it every day unless we notice the windows getting condensation on them. It does a great job of removing excess humidity. Before I bought it we had water running down the bedroom closet wall soaking everything on the floor. We also had water drip on the dash from condensation on the front cap. After using it we have had no problem with condensation anywhere.If you spend time in the RV in the cold I highly recommend one. The other thing to think about is to much condensation could cause mold and delamination of sidewalls.
Where does the water go?
Do you run a drain line?
Which model did you buy?
Most come with both options a hook up for a drain hose and a cup holder. Most shut off if cup becomes full. Be SURE to check that it does have this option!
In an RV the best place for it is midship which also is usually where your shower is located. Perfect place to set the dehumidifier close to the wall out of the way and Run drain hose into shower.
I found all the midrange priced ones from Lowes or Home Depot all work fine.
BTW running a dehumidifier in the summer months also really helps your AC cool down the inside. I couldn't believe the difference.
