Who's using a dehumidifier?

Hey guys. Who's using a dehumidifier in their rv and what humidity do you have it set on? I've been letting mine run on the constant setting when it's at home and I empty it 2-3 times a week. How bout you?

Actually, it can get so dry that the cabinetry starts to pull apart and you can develop little gaps in the joints. The other problem I have is that I may have gotten a little aggressive when loading up the RZR-s and hit one of the lower kitchen cabinets and scuffed it up. I'll fix both issues when I redesign and rebuild the lower kitchen cabinets.

Ya that's kinda why I'm tryin to find out what I should set it at. Don't want the cabinets comin apart or nothin.

Definitely gotta watch the cabinets when loadin up! That's why I went to a separate garage. Load up and roll out. Don't have to fold anything up and the mess stays in the back.

I would think that 40-50% might be good just to keep the wood somewhat moist. What's your relative humidity right about now?
