De-humidifier recommendations?
I was out in the RV today cleaning it up a bit. Noticed it was 80% humidity inside and thought, hey this would be a great time to run the generator for it's monthly run cycle and use the A/C to knock down the humidity. Bummer, it's too cool out, the A/C won't come on.

As we've got a trip coming up where the weather is probably going to be just as cool, and it's expected to rain quite a bit, this got me thinking about a de-humidifier. Does anyone have any recommendations of some good ones they are happy with?

Thanks

Sean, do you have a heat strip in your air? If so, just run it for 20 min, then you should be able to run the air. Both modes exercise the generator.

I don't. I really want them, but can't seem to find the correct part number to see if they are still available.

Hi Sean. Most of us carry small box electric heaters to use when we have full hookups. On low you could use one of these to put a load on the generator, and get the insides warm enough to run the air conditioner. Set on high the box heater is enough of a load to give the generator a workout (1800 Watts).  RonB
