If your camper is mostly parked up over the 'British rainy season' then you've probably been worried about damp, especially if you leave your bedding in there. At home, we flood easily, and I have a 'proper' compressor dehumidifier but thats usually busy in the home, so when I saw these reduced from £34 to £29 in Aldi, I thought I'd give one a try. This is a small and lightweight dehumidifier employing a Peltier element rather than a compressor and it actually runs off 12v. Now I know what you're thinking, but no, it uses a constant 6 amps, so mains hook-up and the supplied 12v power unit (worth £29 alone!) is pretty much essential. Rated at 72 watts, its no more hungry than leaving a light bulb on overnight. Mine has been running in the house for 3 days solid now and it actually works very well. Its quiet, being Peltier all you can hear is a gentle fan running, which won't keep you awake overnight. The tank is 1.5 litres and is about half-full up to now - over that period the compressor dehumidifier would probably have pulled much more, but in the confines of a motorhome or camper, it would be very effective. The tank easily pulls out for emptying (free distilled water!) and should it freeze, it has an auto defrost cycle.
Playing with the Sonoff remote sensor you can actually see the humidity dropping over a period.
Highly recommended and at £29 its yet another Aldi bargain
