Why You Need an RV Dehumidifier


Eaz-Lift 48830 24" Leveling Scissor Jack 7,500 LbEver detect a hint of mustiness in your RV? That’s a result of extra humidity. If this humidity is left unattended for too long, especially in small spaces that are used less frequently, mildew and mold will set in. You can expect the quality of air to decrease further. An RV dehumidifier is the order of the day.

Why Use a RV Dehumidifier

Humidity is basically moisture in the air. Weather conditions dictate humidity levels, but in enclosed places the problem is compounded. Even simple things like breathing or taking a hot shower add moisture to the air. Furthermore, if the outside temperature begins to drop as it often does during the night, condensation will cause the moisture to accumulate.

Moisture is bad for your RV in more ways than one. It tends to get into fixtures, nuts and bolts and compromise them. Mold, mildew and a whole host of pests thrive in humid conditions. One way to take care of this is to ensure your RV is properly ventilated. But in most cases that won’t be enough and you’ll need an RV humidifier to preserve air quality.

A motorhome is often left in storage for long periods without any access to power or ventilation. Equipping it with a dehumidifier that doesn’t require power will protect it from long-term damage and make it more habitable when needed. Our desiccant RV humidifiers utilize a special combination of minerals that absorb moisture from the air. Since they are completely non-toxic and safe to use, you can use them in enclosed spaces for however long you want. They work like a charm, and only require a periodic replacement of minerals as and when they run out.

Regardless of your requirement or model of RV, you can bank on RV Upgrades to provide you with a humidifier that fits your budgets and needs. Call us on 866-332-7881 or contact us and let us help you make the right choice.
