Has anyone installed a humidistat in their RV? It is a fairly common practice in areas of high temperature and humidity to install a humidistat in-line with the AC thermostat of a residence that is left vacant during the summer. This only runs the AC during high humidity, high temperature conditions to prevent mold growth. In low humidity conditions, the AC remains off. Since my 5th wheel is stored under power at my residence in Florida, I'm wondering if this is a reasonable thing to install. Has anyone tried this and were there any pitfalls or bad experiences?
Owned many different camping units and lived in South Florida for 35 years. Stored our trailers next to the house, no power, closed up and never had a problem with mold.
Have seen many humidi-stats in homes. Have only seen one condominium unit completely covered with mold inside.
Not saying it is a bad idea, but just never had trouble with our campers.
