    Not only that but I get to listen to the truck that sounds like it is idling at 3000 rpm with an air compressor cutting off every 30 seconds.

    Don't buy the bags that you hang up. If it falls or you lay it down, it leaks, and what's left behind CANNOT be cleaned up. It's an oil. My mother had these in her basement, and she hung one on a cupboard handle. Later she went to get something out of that cupboard, she layed it down, it leaked all over and down to the carpet. We tried to sop it up with paper towels, and all it would do was push around. The only way to get it cleaned up decently is a shop vac. :biggrin_2554:

    So far this dehumidifier is working :D I thought it wouldn't as it is so quiet but when I check it I see the little container filled with water. Tonight is the first night that my sleeper doesn't feel sticky either.

    Depending where you have been running is a big factor but another big factor is something you already stated. You haven't been running your A/C. Your A/C actually help takes moisture out of the air and when you aren't running it or aren't running it constant then you will get a humid feel in your truck. Especially if you have your windows open at night. This will allow moisture to settle in your truck and have no means of drying up.

    Down here in Florida if you go to the beach a lot your car tends to stink more and hold a lot more moisture. This is because the salt air gets in your car and salt air holds more moisture than regular air. Your windows will actually stay steamed up like all day.

    Next time your are in the desert or somewhere with low humidity, park and crack the windows and let the sun bake out some of that moisture.
