...By the way all RV air conditioners are dehumidifiers, when they cool the air the dew point drops and water condenses. When you run yours you will note a stream of water running from it across the roof. ...


Running both the furnace and ac should dehumidify better than a dedicated dehumidifier.

Some RV ac's have drains in the pan where you can connect a drain line to avoid the water running across the roof.

My Carrier Low Profile (on my 26') has the spot for one to be installed. As I would have had to run the hose under the headliner and down the side to a drain somewhere, I did not install it. If/when I redo THAT coach... I'll have to find the parts.


Looking on the Internet, the Carrier ac like my low profile are no long available. But here is a 13.5k like my 15K:

Looks like a great price. If I planned on keeping a 26 foot coach, I would look into picking this up. (Two low profile AC's with no pod, the rear one reversed.)
