When I saw the Dri-Z-Air dehumidifier on the Canadian Tire website, I decided to buy one. It was inexpensive (16CAD), had rave reviews, was small, was quiet, and required no electricity:

Dri-Z-Air Dehumidifer

It has turned out to be one of the best purchases I have made for Miranda!

I bought two and placed one at opposite ends of the rig; one in the upstairs bedroom and one in the study. Within an hour, the one in the upstairs bedroom had a quarter inch of water in it! I only just put out the one in the study, but I’m already seeing droplets in it.

Of course, a traditional, plugged in dehumidifier would be more efficient in drawing moisture out of the air, but the Dri-Z-Air is a fantastic solution for boondockers and those with insufficient amperage issues.

Canadian prices for this device are exorbitant seeing as Americans can get it for 5USD on amazon.com.

How this dehumidifer works is that you insert pellets of calcium chloride (one sachet is included with the unit) into the upper chamber of the Dri-Z-Air. This pellets collect the water and dissolve, dripping into the container below, which you need to empty periodically.

The Dri-Z-Air is useful for any damp area of a house, RV, boat, etc. For more details, you can check out the Dri-Z-Air website. I just did and see that they recommend three units for a 25′ motorhome, so I’ll be getting two more. 🙂
