We also live in the PNW.. land of mold and mildew...lol We have been trying to educate ourselves on the absolute best way to winterize our 20' TT. It's just not this damp where we came from originally. We've read and read... and READ. Had no problem with doing the RV antifreeze part etc, removed all food, candles etc..but still have some humidity concerns.
We found a good sized home dehumidifier on Craig's last summer, and set it up today. It's been raining hard off and on today - soggy soggy.
We did our final cleaning/winterizing earlier today. We closed down the vents and turned on the dehumidifier (it's placed in the bathtub on a rubber mat). The humidity showed at 82% in the rig.
In 3 hrs the humidity had dropped to 60% and there is 1" of water in the lg reservoir of the unit. I'd say it's doing okay. Is there an optimum humidity % we should strive to keep the TT at?
Any more tips/do's/don't would be greatly appreciated. We think we did it right, but if there's more for us know please sound off.
Thanks in advance!
