Controlling the Humidity in a Parked Motor Coach without Electricity

RE: Controlling the Humidity in a Parked Motor Coach without Electricity Post By Stacy (Guest Post) (09/03/2005) I also had that problem in our fifth wheel (which I also keep at a seasonal campground). I found that Damp Rid (comes in buckets) placed all around the trailer helps TREMENDOUSLY. They're not big and can be hidden everywhere. I have 5 in mine (32 feet long), and 1 in the "basement" area as well. They're great at keeping the trailer fresh. You can buy Damp Rid (and refills) at Home Depot. It also comes in a bag type form that you can hang in a closet. Bed, Bath & Beyond might also carry it. Leaving a window or two cracked for ventillation also helps. Cat litter didn't help much at all - I tried everything before before finding Damp Rid. Lots of other people at my campground have started using it as well. They love how maintainence-free it is.........just empty the bucket out when you return and refill as needed. I also keep some in there during winter storage.

SIMPLE PUT IT IN A STRAINER AS IT ABSORBS WATER IT DECREASES AND THE WATER IS IN THE BOWL UNDERNEATH HOPES THIS HELPS , WORKS IN FLORIDA RE: Controlling the Humidity in a Parked Motor Coach without Electricity Post By Betty (Guest Post) (07/23/2005) I would try putting bowls of regular cat litter around. RE: Controlling the Humidity in a Parked Motor Coach without Electricity Post by kidsNclutter (208) | (07/21/2005) Contact There's a product in little plastic containers for damp areas like cellars & closets. Maybe these would help if you place the proper # of them in the RV. Maybe regular clay kitty litter, not clumping or scoopable, might absorb some of that if put out on trays a few inches thick? Or make some sort of cloth sack filled with the litter & hang or set them around?
