BorninPalatka Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Dampaid and small devices arent get the humidity below 85%. Need a real but small dehumidifier. Lou Anne & Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KountryKamper Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 We have been using this one for several years in the camper. No compressor and very low amp draw. I carry it with us on long trips and also use the larger version in our garage. It works great in the camper. https://www.amazon.com/EcoSeb-DD122EA-SIMPLE-Desiccant-Dehumidifier-15-Pint/dp/B00KHJIC04/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1518632975&sr=1-1&keywords=ecoseb+desiccant+dehumidifier&dpID=41LrblthRUL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch 4 Tom & Cheryl LE II #305 2018 GMC 2500HD SLT Duramax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorninPalatka Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Where do you put this dehumidifier in the Ollie? 1 Lou Anne & Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SeaDawg Posted February 14, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2018 Air flow is really the key. Are you able to store your Ollie at home? There is nothing in the Oliver, other than cushions, that can grow mold. It's all fiberglass, aluminium, and inorganic.

Jack & Trish Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 We use the EcoSeb also and it is great! Highly recommend. Trish & Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hap Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 We use the EcoSeb also and it is great! Highly recommend. Our EcoSeb just arrived today and I'm very pleased with how quiet it is on low and with the small size. I would also like to know where current owners place the unit in their OTT's? It's small enough to store in the OTT closet with ease when not in use and seems big enough to work effectively with the trailer. At the moment I'm giving it try in our laundry room but the real test will be in April on our Alaska trip. I can't wait to get back on the road.

Ray and Susan Huff Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) The dehumidifier mentioned about is not currently available on Amazon. However, this one is. Looks like the same specs. Anyone have experience with the Ivation 13-pint unit? https://www.amazon.com/Ivation-13-Pint-Small-Area-Desiccant-Dehumidifier/dp/B07B8SCPZ4 Power draw is 280w (low)/470w (high). Will this restrict use to only when on shore power? We ordered our Oliver Elite II with the lithium pro package.

Moderators SeaDawg Posted November 3, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2020 In summer storage, I sometimes use two or three of the $1 tubs of desiccant from Dollar Tree (like drize the air, but $1). No power required. I set them in the kitchen and bath sinks, in case they would ever overflow. . 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

We have used these in all our RVs while parked, in cooler weather and they work very well - two or three inside and one in the basement. However, they are not great for use while the RV is occupied. 1. They are messy 2. They are not intended to remove the amount of moisture that collects overnight from respiration and cooler temperatures. We are looking for a good solution to keep condensation at bay while camping during colder weather, as we will be doing on our way home to Oregon from picking up our Oliver on December 7.

It will draw 3.9 amps on high and 2.33 amps on low. With the Lithium package, you could "theoretically" run the dehumidifier on high for about 100 hours (4 days) before your Lithiums were completely drained. Of course, you would never do this without recharging your batteries, but this unit doesn't draw that many amps compared to some things (like a hair dryer or microwave). 1 2020 Elite II, Hull 688 --- 2021 Silverado 2500HD, 6.6L Duramax Diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
