Eva-Dry E-500

Hey folks,

So, I recently got my hands on the Eva-Dry E-500, and let me tell you, I’m as excited as a kid in a candy store who just found out calories are a myth. You know what they say about RV living—it’s all fun and games until the mold sets in. Well, the Eva-Dry has become my little superhero in this moisture-battling saga.

Picture it: Me, sitting in my RV, sipping coffee, feeling smug as I gaze at my small but mighty Eva-Dry doing its thing. This little guy works without the need for batteries or power—who knew absorbing moisture could be budget-friendly and eco-friendly? It’s like discovering chocolate that’s somehow good for you.

• Performance: This thing is a beast when it comes to sucking up moisture! It’s fascinating to watch the silica beads change color from orange to green. It’s like having a tiny light show in the RV, minus the blaring music and entrance fee.
• Ease of Use: If I can manage this, trust me, anyone can. Just hang or place it where it’s needed and bam, it starts working. Recharging it was straightforward too—plugging it in was as easy as convincing a dog to eat bacon.
• Size: Compact and portable, the E-500 fits right in alongside my collection of mismatched socks and emergency snack stash.
• Effectiveness: With the Eva-Dry, my RV no longer feels like I’m cruising through a tropical rainforest, minus the tropical part. My belongings stay dry, and the air feels fresher. Who knew fighting humidity could feel this good?

For the inquisitive minds, here’s more on the magic behind the Eva-Dry E-500.

All in all, I’m quite pleased with my purchase. It’s a small investment for big peace of mind, and I’ve even named it “Fred.” I’m thinking of giving it a holiday bonus this year—a spa day where it can relax and recharge (a.k.a plugging it in to dry out). If you’re living the RV life and battling pesky moisture, give this little guy a whirl. You might just find yourself singing its praises, too!

Happy travels!

Pro Breeze Electric Mini

So, there I was, sitting in my RV, contemplating whether I should knit a sweater or roast marshmallows over my stove burners to keep warm. My heating solution had to fit in the consistently shrinking space of my rolling home. Enter the Pro Breeze Electric Mini Heater—my new favorite travel buddy. Spoiler alert: the marshmallows survived.

Let me start by saying this thing is indeed mini. It fits perfectly in my RV’s cozy corners without making it feel like I’m trying to squeeze myself into a matchbox. Imagine a chihuahua on a cold day—small but surprisingly effective. Plug it in, and your RV transforms from Antarctica to the Bahamas in no time. Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but you get the gist.

The real adventure, though, began when I decided to see how well it worked on a cold, foggy morning. I fired it up, and it purrs like a kitten, only with less fur… and more heat. I was able to retire my semi-effective sweater-knitting habit for good.

Here are some pointers about this little wonder:

• Hot, Hot, Hot: Seriously, this thing heats up fast. Perfect for pre-coffee mornings when my brain needs extra time to start functioning.
• No Wheels Required: It’s lightweight and easy to move around. I even tried heating up my cup of instant noodles just by placing it near the heater. Jury’s still out on that one.
• Safety First: It has this great auto shut-off feature, which means I can stop worrying about turning my RV into a sauna or, worse, an accidental experimental art installation.
• Low Noise Level: It’s quiet enough that I can still hear raccoons trying to raid my snacks outside. I call that a win.

All in all, for those of us who believe in traveling with comfort and staying cozy, the Pro Breeze Electric Mini is a brilliant companion. Just don’t get too attached; you might start wondering why anyone ever needs a fireplace again.

And if you’re on the hunt for more details or want to make the purchase, here’s the official Pro Breeze website. Stay warm out there, fellow wanderers!

Frigidaire FFAD2233W1

Hey RV enthusiasts!

So, I recently had the pleasure of meeting my new sidekick, the Frigidaire FFAD2233W1 dehumidifier, and I just have to share my thoughts. Picture this: you’re on a road trip, parked at a picturesque location by the lake, and everything is perfect—except for the dankness in your RV that feels like a wet blanket hugging you. Enter my trusty Frigidaire!

First impressions: Right out of the box, it was love at first sight. Sleek, compact, and with more buttons than a spaceship—what’s not to love? And trust me, after long days on the road, you want something that’s easy to operate, and this gizmo is definitely that.

Here’s why it’s been a game-changer for me:

• Powerful performance: For such a small package, it’s got the guts of a bear wrestler. My RV humidity dropped quicker than a stone in a pond. It’s officially swamp air’s worst nightmare!
• Portability: This little wonder is as mobile as my golden retriever when he hears the word “walk.” It’s got handles and wheels, making it super easy to relocate all over the RV. I even took it outside once during a card game to see how it would perform outdoors—it was a hit!
• Energy efficient: My power usage hasn’t spiked, which is basically the ultimate high five from the dehumidifier universe. Plus, it won’t scare off your boondocking dreams.

However, fair disclosure: remember to empty the water tank before setting off on a bumpy ride. I made this rookie mistake once; it felt like my dehumidifier decided to start a swimming pool party without me. Again, lesson learned!

Oh, and if you’re wondering how to get your hands on this delightful gizmo, here’s a helpful link to where I found mine.

Overall, the Frigidaire FFAD2233W1 is like having a microclimate commander protecting your RV against the forces of humidity. It’s my tiny, heroic, moisture-fighting warrior. I mean, what more can an RVer ask for?

Cheers to dry adventures,

Best RV Dehumidifiers Buyer’s Guide

So, you’ve taken the plunge into the wonderful world of RVing—as thrilling as a rodeo ride on a caffeinated bull! Whether you’re exploring national parks or stealth camping on a friend’s driveway, there’s something delightful about having your own tiny home on wheels. But alas, with great adventure comes the occasional, unwanted sensation of waking up in a mobile rainforest. Yes, I’m talking about humidity—the not-so-welcome guest that turns your rolling abode into a sticky sauna. Fear not, fellow road warrior! I’ve navigated my fair share of clammy cabinetry and dewy dashboards, and I’m here to guide you through selecting the best RV dehumidifier.

1. Consider the Size
Goldilocks had it right—it’s all about finding the perfect fit! The size of the dehumidifier is crucial. You don’t want something too big that it eats up all your counter space like a ravenous raccoon, nor do you want something too tiny that it wheezes like a geriatric chipmunk trying to keep up. For most RVs, a pint-sized champion is ideal—between 20 to 30 pints should do the trick for medium-sized RVs.

2. Efficiency, Efficiency, Efficiency!
Fuel efficiency isn’t just for your gas tank, folks. Look for Energy Star-certified dehumidifiers. Trust me, those electricity bills can add up quicker than my collection of questionable roadside diner menus. An efficient dehumidifier will save you money and give you more room in the budget for things that matter—like more diner pie!

3. Noise Level
Imagine you’re drifting into a peaceful sleep, dreaming of that next scenic overlook, and suddenly your dehumidifier sounds like an asthmatic elephant. Not ideal, right? Make sure to check decibel levels. A whisper-quiet model is best, probably humming around 50 decibels or less.

4. Portability
Look, RVs aren’t exactly known for their spacious ballrooms. You want something you can tuck away easily or move around depending on where the moisture issue is. A unit with wheels and a handle can become your best friend, like a loyal dog that also removes water from the air. Just don’t try playing fetch with it.

5. Extra Features
Now, if you’re feeling a little fancy, some models come with snazzy features like auto-shutoff, which turns the unit off when the water tank is full. No more waking up to a wrongly placed indoor pool! Some even have built-in hygrometers (that’s a fancy word for a humidity meter, in case you were wondering).

6. Drain Options
If automatic drainage sounds like music to your ears because you would rather not empty buckets of water daily, look for models with a continuous drain option. Less manual labor, more time to toast marshmallows by the campfire, am I right?

Personal Experience
I once bought a dehumidifier as loud as a rock concert—let’s just say, it didn’t stay around long. Learn from my misadventures and read reviews or ask fellow RVers before making a purchase. Oh, and make sure it can handle the temperature fluctuations if you’re a year-round traveler like myself.

So, there you have it, my friends. May your adventures be dry, your spirits high, and your dehumidifiers whisper-quiet! Here’s to keeping your RV as fresh as the morning dew—without actually being as wet as it! Safe travels!
