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 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.
Yes, math is hard. But the OP said 2,500 CUBIC feet, not square. :W
Dehumidifiers, A/C, heating systems ALL use SQUARE FEET as an "industry standard" when specing the systems, not CUBIC FEET.
When one is looking for a REAL dehumidifier those specs will be in SQUARE FEET.
For instance a temporary replacement unit I bought HERE lists specifically 1500 SQUARE FEET.
" About this item
1,500 SQ FT DEHUMIDIFIER – Our dehumidifier is able to collect 20 pint (30 pint 2012 DOE standard) of water a day and adjust humidity from 35% to 85%, perfect for use in basement, bathroom, bedroom, or crawlspace. Maintaining a healthy 45%-55% humidity range has never been easier! Please note: depending on the climate in your area, as well as room size, you may need to purchase a larger unit for best effect "
Evadry is exaggerating there units by using CUBIC FEET and with only 20 oz per day collection it is pretty weak on real delivery compared to a real compressor unit.
I have my doubts that Evadry products meets DOE testing standards..

Regardless if you are using with supposed "free" campground power or not, any Peltier based device IS an energy hog and for that there is no excuse. Wasting energy just because you can is pretty much the "moto" of the average RV owner because they feel it is a right.
We should be finding and using much more efficient devices instead of flippantly and blatantly using more energy because there is no immediate penalty. The after affect of being wasteful is campground WILL increase the price of admission next yr to make up for the energy hogs this yr.. Everyone ultimately will pay more because of the wastefulness of others. The cycle just continues on and on and on..
