We carry and use a 15 pint dehumidifier, works perfectly but our trailer is only 140 sq' so you'd need to size one for your trailer. On the down side, they kick off quite a bit of heat, good when it's cool, not so good when it's warm. At times I run the A/C and the dehumidifier at the same time.
Something about running the vent fan with an open window when it's in the 40's just seems a bit off to me so I go this route.
on the heat, a dehumidifier is basically an unvented self contained AC unit. water condenses on the cooling unit, just like a AC unit, drips into the collection pan. but the high side (heat) of the AC isn't outside, it's in the dehumidifier. So, yes they do put out some heat.
