To keep the humidity inside of my camper to less than 60%, I have had to run the A/C, so I keep it at about 68 degrees so it will run to bring the humidity level down. This is cooler than I like, but it is the only thing I can do to bring down the humidity to a livable level. If I use my MaxAir fan, the humidity inside shoots up, so I have quit using that unless we are showering or using the bathroom.
We had almost this identical situation occur years ago in a trip through the Southern U.S. in July-August (we'll never do that again).
We were camping on hookups (but we could have done the same thing when drycamping): What we did was use the air conditioner to lower the humidity (which by itself would have lowered the temperature inside too much to reduce the humidity enough) ... but at the same time we ran a small electric heater to keep the temperature up to a comfortable level.
Balancing the air conditioner setting and the heater setting just right provided an interior temperature of around 72 degrees with humidity way lower then the dripping humidity onside. The outside temperature was around the lower 80's.
It worked like a champ: I call using the two appliances at the same time "a makeshift dehumidifier".
