Cracking windows and vents will allow blowing rain in plus the humidity inside will be the same as the humidity outside. High humidity inside, minus sunshine, minus sufficient air flow equals mold and mildew. I consider $180 to be cheap insurance.

I would buy a cheap one from the big box stores and sit in on a counter and run the hose to the kitchen drain.

There is no such thing as a "cheap" dehumidifier..
$180 is pretty much as cheap as it gets and no matter how cheap or expensive they might be, expect to replace it every 2 yrs.. If you get 3-4 yrs you will want to celebrate that mile stone (4 yrs is my personal best in my sticks and bricks).
Personally, skip the dehumidifier and crack open several windows and even the roof vents slightly. No electric needed and doesn't break down when you least expect..
