Dehumidifier for Travel Trailer

We are looking for a dehumidifier for our Passport 2910bh. It will be running on a commercial extension cord and would like it to have continuos run (hose drain) and cut off automatically when not needed. Any recommendations?

Thanks

    :h

    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..
  • I bought mine from Lowe's. It has a tube and actually pumps the water out rather than gravity feeds. This means I can leave it on the floor and run the drain line up to the nearest sink.
    I bought the Hisense 50-pint with built in pump. Works great.
  • Be sure to let your gray tank drip. What you describe is widely avail.
