Running a dehumidifier after camping
I've taken to running a dehumidifier after taking a camping trip (camper is plugged into 110 from the garage). Take Labor Day. It was cool and damp most of the weekend and only turned sunny on Monda...

I had never thought of plugging in a dehumidifier as a precaution. Has anyone run a dehumidifier in areas of the country while there is freezing temperatures? I am assuming these TC's are stored in heated garages? Setting the percent humidity to 35% seems to be on the low side? Is that necessary? Cheers christl
In winter we get below freezing at times. Coming back from a trip I put a 750 watt oil heater in the camper along with the dehumidifier (which adds heat itself). The camper is outside but the inside stays warm enough for the dehumidifier to work (it also has an "anti-freeze" system.)
I put it to 35% because I am trying to drive out all the excess water out of the interior. Note that this is for after camping, not while we are using it. After a couple of days when I stop getting much additional water I shut it down.
