Smart move on the dehumidifier! Also pretty cool was clicking on the photo for more photos.
I'm under the impression that dehumidifiers have a small compressor in them just like an air conditioner or heat pump ... is this the case? If so, about how much power does it take to run one like you have in your Class C?
This is my dehumidifier. I'm at Diamond Point Resort in Sequim, WA. The (nearly continuous) winter rains haven't started yet. The rains should have started by the 2nd week of October. As of this post, the humidity in the MH is 28%, so the dehumidifier is turned off. It does have a compressor. I don't worry about the power usage because when I'm running it I set the humidity control to continuous - meaning the compressor isn't cycling on and off (no compressor surge). The sticker on the side of it says: 115V , 4.0 Amps
