There is no need to be cycling. Just turn on a small heat source while running the air conditioner. 500 watts is enough for my 28' class C.

So next time you're out camping and it's crazy humid you can say to yourself, "I know it sounds crazy, but if I heat my camper to 80F then cool it with the A/C it will help with this cold, clammy feeling," Remember, you read it on the internet, so it MUST be true! :B

Now, does the camping world need to change our ways and start running both the heat and AC every time it gets a little humid???...

This is getting way too complicated.
For the problem situations I mentioned in my earlier post (I believe about the same problem as the OP was addressing), I needed more air conditioning run time to reduce the humidity in our RV's interior air ... but it wasn't warm enough inside the RV or outside the RV to merit running the air conditioning as much as needed to get out the excess moisture in the interior air ... hence we would have been too cold (even though dryer, humidity-wise) if we had kept running only the air conditioner.
So, we just ran the propane furnace at the same time to add just enough heat to keep us comfortable while the air conditioner was running and reducing the humidity. We ran both at the same time - NOT alternating back and forth between the air conditioner and furnace. It worked simply and very well.

Heating then cooling not only had a dramatic improvement (drop) in the humidity comfort level, it was a MEASURED drop, using an electronic temp/humidity device.
Ok, let's all get our terms straight.
Relative humidity is not the amount of water in the air.
Your magical electronic thing measures RELATIVE humidity.
Heating the air lowers the RELATIVE humidity but REMOVES no water (except by the mechanism I described and except by forcing the AC to run as others cited)
You can feel differences in RELATIVE humidity- but again, that is not the amount of water in the air.
