RV De-Humidifiers & Heated Hoses

Does anyone have recommendations/warnings about specific brands and sizes of RV de-humidifiers and/or heated water hoses?

What do you use? What have you used that didn't work well? Is there such a thing as a "quiet" de-humidifier?

Personal insights and experiences, please. Relevant polite opinions also appreciated.

    We use a electric water collecting dehumidifier 3 gallon capacity. Honestly this virtually solves all our humidity problems completely. We store it in te shower and often dry swim suits and towels over night. It does make noise but being in the bathroom no problem there. Does the whole trailer end toend.

    In truly cold weather a heated hose is not going to work for 'shore water supply'. Use the on board fresh water tank. Drain the hose after use.
