Honestly, i dont care about the watts. CG pays for that. I dont recall the OP being worried about it either. Just suggesting an option that has worked great for me. Investigate the options, choose which you think will work for You.
(btw, if used in the summer, you also need to calculate joule expenditure of the extra AC to counter the heat a compressor uses. In the winter, of course, that heat will be a welcome addition).
You MISSED the mere fact that the OP was needing a dehumidifier for 2500 SQUARE FEET.
Don't know of ANY RV that is 2500 square feet.
I will also point out that Peltier devices expend much more heat than a compressor, they give far less cooling per watt and cooling you need to condense water on any given surface. One side of the Peltier device gets cold, the opposite side will not only have to dissipate the heat drawn from the cold side but the additional heat generated by the electrical losses internally to the Peltier device.
I realize this is a mathematical issue and from what I have seen over the yrs, not a lot of folks get the math and science behind these mystery devices.
Peltiers are extremely inefficient, if they were efficient you would see them in use for general cooling and heating applications on a grand scale in homes, business. They are not, therefore they are relegated to very small applications where a compressor will not fit and efficiency is of no care..
