Can you use it in motorhome in place of dehumidifier?

Kathy, you can use the rod in your RV but it would not be very effective because of the cubic feet of airspace you are trying to keep dry. You would probably need a whole bunch of rods, these rods are designed to keep safes dry and that is a lot smaller space. I'm sure a regular dehumidifier is probably the way for you to go. I hope this helps.Rob

This is made for a small enclosed area. Normally just a few square feet such as a gun safe. Sorry but I dont believe this is what you're looking for.

A gun safe is about the size of a closet and it works great. My motor home is a little larger than that.

As has been stated Cathy the Golden Rod was designed for far less cubic footage. I'm quite certain this would not meet your needs.

yes!!! I bought mine to mount in my motorhome. I just love it. I can also slide it off it's holder to take with me if I go to a shower at a campground.

I have no idea. It works great in our heated basement and keeps it dry even on the most humid days. Best dehumidifier we have owned and we have owned quite a few! I would check with the manufacturer about the temperature limit.

Yes. In fact that was recommended by the electrician who installed it. When you need heat, you need heat. And you always want to be sucking the moisture out of the room. Using both together works perfectly fine for me.

I'm sorry but I'm not an HVAC guy and really couldn't offer any technical advice. I only know of the application in my system which is to drain water that's been removed from the air- dehumidified. Sorry I can't be of any assistance.

If you have the room, i assume it can be done. The only drawback is that the motor that runs the air may be a little loud being in the house.

Never!!! These Peltier type devices become much less efficient when humidity is below 80%. My RV interior is less than 14' x 7' and the Eva-Dry 1100 couldn't lower the 75% humidity more than a few points. They are really designed for a small closet, in spite of their claims. Houses are not air-tight and this small device can't keep up with the air exchange from the outside.

You could but I wouldn't suggest it. What you could do (like I do) is tuck it underneath. There is a metal bracket underneath that allows you to do this. You never know with this changing climate if you might need to plug it in. Hope this helps?

I would not think that would be a good idea. You always take the chance of moisture short circuiting the system.

Yes, we use it in our motorhome in from of the sofa, very nice for the money.

Yes this product can be used with a dehumidifier and can be connected to a 110v outlet to control on and off.

Probably so, I have two of them in my motorhome, which is approx. 300sq.ft and they kept it at 72 degrees inside, while outside got down to 28 degrees! It depends on sq.ft. of the garage, and how well it is insulated, you might need two.

I wouldn't the coils will freeze. I would do some research on using a dehumidifier in a garage at 30F

I do not have my dehumidifier in a basement, so cannot answer your question from experience, but it is my lake house where the humidity is higher than normal. The Danby Dehumidifier runs unattended because we are not there most of the time, and I can tell you it has performed flawlessly. I have the hose attached to the dehumidifier dumping into a drain, so it can run continuously without being attended to, and it has fully accomplished my purpose for having it there. I am extremely pleased with the product and have not found it to "freeze-up" at any time.

I use this dehumidifier in my garage and it works great. My only concern would be running the drain line to the outside and keeping the filter clean.

Yes no problem in a house. In an RV or other enclosed space you must provide some ventilation.

no. in fact it guzzles power. but it is one of the few well made dehumidifiers with a pump.
