    I have been using an RV dehumidifier for a few years and have been very
    satisfied with it. I set it up next to the galley sink and place the
    drain hose into the sink drain and leave in on whenever we are not on
    board. When we are aboard, it stows easily in an aft lazerette. We
    also have a few small fans that we use to circulate air around the boat.
    The combination keeps the boat fresh and dry.

    Try -
    http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm?skunum=4655&src=SRCH&t
    code=37 or enter DRYAIR in their search box.

    While our Cruisair A/C units do have the Dehumidify feature, I have
    chosen not to use it. I am concerned about having the A/C units turning
    on while no one is aboard: What if a raw water hose lets go? Not all
    that remote a possibility. I had my A/C raw water manifold break
    (problem with casting) while I was on board --- made a believer out of
    me --- no A/C when not on board!

    Side benefit: maintaining a reasonable humidity level makes it a lot
    easier for the A/C units to get the temperature down when we do get down
    to the boat on a hot day.
