If you have humidity problems, go to a big box store and buy the smallest compressor driven dehumidifier you can find. It will do the trick.
You can minimize adding moisture but this is really the only true solution but doing it off grid is a problem.
Damp Rid can help if it's in the back of a closet with little airflow but won't really have any noticeable impact on the larger living space.
Look up the specs on dehumidifiers. A small one might have a 2.5 gallon reservoir and running continuously, you may have to dump the water multiple times per day. How many crystals will you need to absorb say 30-40 gallons of water per week?
If you're living in it that's correct, but it does have its place. We've stored our trailer in a cave over the winter and Damp Rid or similar is essential to keep the moisture low enough for stuff not to grow. 4-5 64oz buckets was enough to keep our 18' trailer smelling good enough that an hour of fresh air was enough that you wouldn't notice. Lady at check-in said some folks ignore their warning in order to save a few bucks, costs them a LOT more in mold and mildew damage.
