    I am planning on having 3 small dehumidifiers in my toy hauler one in main bathroom, one in kitchen and one in second bath in garage. Little worried about the bedroom as with the Brinkley there is not a pass through bath door. Hopefully solar will keep up with power draw while in storage

      That all depends on the size of the solar and battery bank you have . You need to do the math based off the draw of the units.
      The unit JD showed at 50w i could run that thing indefinitely with my setup. I have a large system, 3000w on the roof and 1600ah of battery. I could run that thing for 15 days off battery alone…..

      Yep. And that's the better residential wrapped stuff. Most of what's being installed in RVs now is the super thin thermofoil.

      @@BTBRVReviews My guys in cabinet fabrication hate the thermofoil products. We try to steer clients away from thermofoil & EFC in our home remodels. A properly fabricated solid ply cabinet is longer lasting AND LIGHTER than TMF/EFC every time.
      A competent stone fabricator can template and install a replacement RV counter for less than $1000, sometimes less than $500 if the material is a scrap from their yard.

    Hopefully no more rat problems or excess moisture inside the RV

    This may not be for everyone but this is just how I keep my RV free from mold and mildew while it is stored. I live in Northern Illinois and I am fortunate to be able to store my RV in my property. What I do during the summer is I keep some windows open about 3 in. The idea is to have air circulating at all times. No obviously if I know it's going to rain then I don't leave them open. I do this year round in my RV is from 2017 and I have never ever had any mold or mildew collect inside the unit. In my honest opinion all you need is are circulating inside your RV with fresh air all the time. I have never had to use a dehumidifier while my RV is in storage at my property.

    I had rodents chew through a forward collision sensor in my vehicle... repair was $9k. Luckily insurance covered it. I bought some Rodent Tape made by Honda and wrapped it on any wire that wasn't loomed. I haven't had any rodent damage since (Knock on wood)

    I was thinking about doing this myself. Regarding your vehicles you should get a Jackador. They are the best rat killers.

    I was under the impression that dehumidifiers don't work very well at low temperatures, ( below 40⁰ ) or so.

      I don't think that's relevant. With lower temps comes low humidity

    Technically solar doesn’t power anything. The batteries power the 12VDC items/ inverter and the solar charges the battery bank.

    You must not be farm raised. Go to the pound / animal shelter, adopt 2 or 3 outside cats get them spay or neutered. No more rats.

      We have coyotes, hawks, huge bobcats, and rattle snakes.... not sure how well they will survive out here. Our closest neighbor did exactly that and found the remains of every cat they put out there.
