Thanks to the link for these. What I can't understand about them -- where does the water go? It's set up in an enclosed space -- not vented to the exterior -- and "dries the air", which means removing water vapor from the air and lowering the ambient RH. But where does the water go? It must still be there somewhere?????

EDIT:

Ok, just figured it out. It's not a really a dehumidifier, it's a small heater that causes the air to circulate, hopefully permitting it to be vented to the outside. I'm not sure that will work here on Vancouver Island, where the ambient RH is near 100% most nights, all winter long.

Ventilation by its nature, allows moist warm air to escape. But it is being replaced with cool, near 100% RH air, from the outside. Looks like we need a dehumidifier that actually removes the water from the air, and saves it in a small vat for manual dumping.

We have not put a dehumidifier in our rig in years. We have very similar weather as K-Falls and it just isn't needed. Park it under the shed and keep it looking new

My son lives in central FL and uses a couple of containers of Damp-Rid in his 36' 5th wheel trailer. I doubt your going to have a humidity issue while in storage up there.
Here in OK its dry enough I don't use a thing year round.
