Humidity & Humidifiers....

Live In Texas & summer = real hot + high humidity.

First summer I have had our AS in a fully enclosed metal storage unit = no breeze for air circulation.

So purchased a DeHumidifier with it currently set to 35% humidity (lowest setting) with it draining into the shower drain. It has been 5 days now and grey tank level has gone from 25% to 31%. Everything seems to be going fine.

So my question is — are there side effects of pulling the humidity down this low - other than filling my grey tank up faster?

Thanks,

Glenn

I live in North Carolina so I know what you're saying about humidity. I have been doing the same thing for years in different trailers and have seen no ill effects.
