There are lots of decent dehumidifiers on the market. Why amazon only? Places like compactappliances.com sell lots of brands, most with reviews attached. They also have great fast delivery. So dont limit yourself unless you like giving b3zos more money.

I think most dehumidifiers are pretty much the same. You just need one to handle the size of the space you have. We have a really big one in the basement of our house, and we leave it on all the time. It sits on the bathroom counter and drains into the sink overflow. How will you handle the water in your rig? It is a pain to empty the trays, but you have to think of tank sizes if you are in storage in a very humid climate.

I would think the user reviews on Amazon would be a much better place to find reviews.Stormclouds said:

Agree with UTTransplant; just find a model that has the size and features you need.
RVs have numerous air leaks so dehumidifiers run a lot and continually extract water that needs to go somewhere. That's typically a lot of water every day. The ideal solution is a dehumidifier that includes a hose that can discharge the water outside somehow. If you have sewer hook-up at the site, it could drain into a sink or shower. Lacking that, the size of the dehumidifier tank is critical because (1) you have to manually empty it, and (2) it shuts off once the tank is full.

Buy one with a compressor, as the ones with only a TEC cooler will add a lot of excess heat into the RV. Also I would suggest one that you can connect a remote drain hose to, vs ones where you must manually empty the onboard catch tank.

Don't get Eva-dry. I ran it for 2 days and had about 2 oz of water. It doesn't have a compressor.
