Hi Mex,
This may seem counter intuitive but it does work well.
I first encountered clammy cold in Hannibal, MO. The RV was cold but it was uncomfortable to say the least. I did have a good 30 amp connection, so I turned on a 700 watt electric heater. Within an hour R.H. had dropped and the RV was comfortable to be inside.
So, if you have a heat source and an air conditioner you may be able to make yourself comfortable again. Heaters, of course, are much less expensive than a dehumidifier.
I've even been known to add a heater when the dehumidifier could not keep up with the task of reducing humidity. The nicest part is that there is no bucket to empty.

Clammy heat is inside with 85F and 60% R/H not outside. Oooooo as I write this, it's 83F with 67% R/H. To keep the sweat down a fan is blowing on me, my arms and legs have cold skin and my head is sweating. My beloved dehumidifier is thousands of miles from here.
