Hi all:I am going to be leaving my TT on site for 2 months over the summer in south central FL.We will be going up on weekends ( it is up from here ).I am looking at small portable humidifiers, to replace tubs of damp rid.Most look to have a small tank that has to be emptied.If it gets full the machine shuts off.I have read about people on here having theirs drain into a kitchen sink.That is what I would like to do.I'm just wondering how you did it.Did you get one of the ones with a removable plastic bucket in the bottom front, and just drill it for a drain hose?Any suggestion greatly appreciated

You could do the drill thing but quite a few dehumidifier models have a hose spigot already on the unit.

Most with a "bucket" for water will have a blanked off fitting tom connect a hose.jim

All the ones that I have seen have a bucket with a hose connection (spigot) on them. There is a knockout plug on the spigot so you can use it either way.

Set it in the shower and let it drain there.

Thanks for the quick replies.The small ones I am looking at don't say anything about a possible hose connection.They only have about a 2 quart capacity.I'm looking at the small ones because 1 it's a small trailer, and 2 I am currently using the large damprid tub, and it lasts several weeks.

Buy a water collecting unit with removable bucket as I did and be sure it has a drain hose attachment. Now put it in your shower and set desired humidity level. It will cycle on and off as needed. We even dry cloth's with it by hanging wet stuff in the bathroom over night. Totally solves ALL humidity problems.
