Thought I would follow up with better info after spending the last 5 days in the trailer. Turns out it was not condensation that was causing the drip, the ice maker line was pinched in the slide rail even though it was routed properly.
I'm just glad it was an outside drip and not inside the slide itself behind the fridge. The water pump was off in storage but when I turned the fridge on it was trying to draw water so it was residual water left in the line. Stopped by the
dealer on the way back from Lake Conroe and they said no problem, 10 minute job and they'd take care of it. They are also going to use the braided metal line this time as well. All is well2019 Solitude 375RES Onan 5500 Splendide W/D Samsung res. fridge

No problem. I purchased a GE 20 pint at Home Depot ("old" rating system = 30 pint). We keep it in the main living area because that's where there's the most room and, except at shower time, the most humidity generated (cooking, us siting around, etc.). On really humid days when the ACs aren't running, it has pulled up to 2 gallons of water out of the air in 24 hours! It has provisions for a hose output, but I don't want to put a hole anywhere to run a hose outside so I just empty the bucket twice a day.
The downsides are:
1) if you read current reviews, there aren't any good dehumidifiers currently being made (regardless of brand). My son-in-law would support this view since he has to run three of them in their big house here 24/7 (two in the basement). He's always repairing or replacing one of them.
2) Even with the fan on "Low," it's a bit noisy to spend the evening next to. If I wasn't old and lazy, I would carry it up to the bedroom in the morning and bring it back downstairs at night. I tried that once... it's a bit heavy to do it every day. All-in-all, though, it performs very well and I can't imagine going through the winter where we are without one.
