downhome, you seem to be describing a standard dehumidifier, similar to an air conditioner. the item I believe the OP is describing is basically the same as those absorbent containers of material that soak up the moisture from the air, then need to be taken and put in an oven to bake the moisture out of them. the ones discussed evidently have a built in heating element so when "full" they can be taken out and plugged in to remove the moisture.
I question whether the added convenience would be worth the extra cost especially in a situation where the RV is stored elsewhere and one must make a trip to it and remove the units from inside it anyhow.
I would be curious as to an accurate statement on the dehumidification power of these units, pints per day or whatever, vs a standard type of dehumidifier.

You have to remember that when a unit is stored on a lot, with no available power, a standard dehumidifier is not an option. I'm sure the Eva-Drys and their copy cats are not as effective as a plug in dehumidifier, but hopefully they are much better than the Damp Rid type products that deposit water into a container and make a mess. We'll see . . . .
