Fred,
Ya, no way could you remove a gallon of water a day for more than the first day, unless you are open to the outside or go in and out frequently.
We live/store in a humid area. First day, sure, it will remove a lot. But after that (i.e. once it has reduce the humidity of the air in the coach) it doesn't pull a lot more.
come visit us on the oregon coast. It will pull 5 gallons out the first day and another 2.5 every additional day. That's if it isn't raining and we are not dragging any damp clothes inside. And we keep the outside vent open when showering, have the fan vent to the outside when cooking.
Now, if the AC is running, don't really need the dehumidifier, AC does that. Of course dehumidifier is a self contained heat pump, air across the "AC cold air coil", and the hot side vents to the coach.
Eastern oregon another story, it may take a day or more to pull 2.5 gallons out, and then 1-2 gallons/day after that.
