AMP draw a very BIG concern when on 30 amp! Will need to keep water heater on electric AND will also need a small electric heater in the wet bay not to forget the fridge as well as one or possibly two electric heaters. Oh, the electric convection/microwave.
Add it up.
When looking at Amp draw, remember that those small boutique dehumidifiers are not as efficient in operation as the cheapest full size residential unit. Looking at the specs, you would need at least 6 of those units to match the efficiency of a small standard residential unit. So in practice, a single small efficient standard residential dehumidifier will cost less to purchase, use less electricity compared to several of those mini table top units, and it will do a much better job keeping you comfortable with less hassles and need for attention.
