Winter ready - inside dampness - does kitty litter work?

Hey all;

Stun question, well maybe. I'm almost ready to close up my rv for winter. Used 'Damp Rid' or something like that before but this yr. - I want to try kitty litter to see if that also works.

I hope someone can answer my question as to if it, in fact, works?

Thanks in advance for all advice and assistance. :h

    Kitty litter does absorb moisture and is inexpensive - used by some on boats etc. Not sure how much it absorbs and how often you have to change it. If I went that route I would likely use multiple shallow pans and maybe rotate the pans occasionally to dry out.

    I use a small dehumidifier which sometimes freezes over during the winter - so I back that up with a couple of containers which contain crystals my wife uses to dry out flowers. The crystals change colors when they are saturated and I can stick those in the oven to recharge.

    If you use kitty litter - follow up and give us feedback on how effective it is.
