Humidity / Moisture Absorbers; Do They Work?

O.K., I bought two of the Dri-Z-Air buckets, and a 60 oz. jug of crystals. I plan to mount them to the wall like a planter, and partly fill the bottom bucket with some sort of absorbent, as well, to eliminate possible spillage when driving. I may buy a hanging DampRid for the closet, as well.

Thanks for all the input!

The liquid that comes from the stuff you put in the top is kinda thick... It's not like water... I don't think putting some "absorbent" is gonna do much...

I only use my Dri-z-Air for when it's being stored.

If you are looking to keep your windows from forming condensation when you are using the rig, you have to either crack the vents/crack open a window or use a full blown dehumidifier.

These things work slow and when there isn't human bodies in the rig producing all kinds of humidity... ;)

You could hang them on the wall if you want, but I wouldn't leave them there while in transit or expect them to eliminate the condensation you get on the windows when you are in the rig..

Even with my vents cracked open and a cold night, my windows will have dripping condensation on them in the morning.. But, that's why they have weep holes on them and if you either wipe them down, or they are able to dry out when it warms up, you don't have too worry too much.

I'm just a 4 day weekend camper, so it's not a big deal. In between trips, I put out my dri-z-air things and it does a good job without any humans in the rig... ;)

Good luck!
