[C320-list] Dehumidifier

[Jerry's Iphone]

Thanks for the responses all. Very good suggestions. Turns out that part of my dampness problem was a leaking siphon valve sending water down behind the wall of the aft berth. 😕

It is a reasonable size with the refrigerant technology and had a drain hose outlet. I put the hose on (bought separately) and fed this to the bilge. My bilge pump kept the water pumped out all winter. It worked great.  I also bought a small temperature and humidity gauge and mounted this on my dashboard (stereo, and assorted gauges board) I set the humidity on the dehumidifier   to 45% and it maintained this level (to or minus 5%). Without it the humidity was ~ 70-75%. The added benefit is that it raised the room temperature a couple of degrees C and the fan moved air around.
