Help with high humidity
I have a 2019 Raptor 355TS with 3 13.5k ac units. The first two years of camping the humidity seemed to be pretty consistent although I never measured it. Now that I am measuring it (been waking up ...

The moisture in an RV comes from everyday living. You breathe and each breath puts out moisture in the room. Cooking and showering add moisture to a room.
When it is cool out, the A/C unit does not run as the sensible heat load in the room does not increase enough to make the A/C operate. The A/C will not remove moisture from the air unless the A/C is running, and the evaporator coil is cool.
One suggestion is to run a small space heater to put a heat load in the room which will force the A/C to operate. We frequently do this in cooer damp weather.
You can go out and buy a mechanical or refrigerated dehumidifier, but it is nothing more than a small A/C unit that takes the refrigerated and dried air over its own condenser to drive the air temperature up and away from the evaporator dew point. Thid decrease the relative humidity.
What is relative humidity in simple words?
Relative humidity (RH) is a measure of how much water vapor is in a water-air mixture compared to the maximum amount possible. RH is a ratio of the humidity ratio of a particular water-air mixture compared to the saturation humidity ratio at a given temperature (dry-bulb).
