Like the title says, I'm looking for something that'll help us keep it dry in the RV when we are running on Boon docking. We have a small camper that has USB ports all over the place and I figured a 5V 2-3A USB dehumidifier had to exist out there somewhere. I have found a couple but they look extremely sketchy Chinese models. Another option is something that is AC powered, but has a built-in battery. I've seen a few that use absorbent silicon materials and that isn't really what I want.

If anyone have any leads on such a product I would welcome your inputs!
Thanks.
 
Not likely to get the results you want from one that low powered. We tried a small cheap device with all sorts of promising claims from Amazon and was only able to get about a cup a day output from it with no affect on comfort in the coach. Went to a real model with refrigerant coils and began getting gallons a day. Unfortunately boondocking is going to make cooling /dehumidifying very challenging as these are very power hungry wants
 
I figured :\
The next thing I need to figure out is, if I get a 12V 6A unit like this one is there a way I can make it so I can run it on the battery at night when I'm boondocking? Middle Georgia...Hot...Sweaty. :) My unit doesn't have an inverter to get AC when running on batteries. But, I do have USB ports all over the unit. I know USB ports cannot handle 6A. But, is it possible to mod the circuit panel in such a way that I could run a unit like this straight through the 12V cable?
 
You could try getting a circuit run directly to the house batteries, but I think you will be very disappointed with the performance of these kind of units. Guess it cant hurt to try.
