We did this on a long trip we took in the Southern U.S. in July-August a few years ago.
Some evenings the outside temps would be only 75-80 degrees but the humidity would be off the charts. We ran the RV's propane furnace and air conditioner both at the same time - finding settings for both such that they were "bucking each other" just the right amount so as to keep the interior around 70 degrees, but nice and comfortable humidity-wise. Worked like a champ ... no dehumidifier needed ... but a bit more inefficient than using an actual dehumidifier unit.
