Not wrong just no need for intake fan. Open the flaps and let it passively draw air in. Slight negative pressure.

and how would removing the intake fan for my tent keep the dehumidifier from freezing up

You are not misunderstanding anything and you are not being a smart. First of all, the carbon filter needs to go before the fan so it is sucking air thru the filter. I believe there is something that is not function correct. Make sure your exhaust fan is running. What size is your exhaust fan? and your intake fan. I never used intact fans, just passive air at 2 1/2 times what the forced exhaust is sized at. If your RH according to the weather is 44 and your tent is at 70 either a piece of equipment is not function correctly, the probe for the Rh sensor is out of position or there is like a humidifier in the house. Because I believe you stated that your exhausting out of the house. Aqua is right about not needing a dehu with those numbers. Take a look at some of this stuff and make sure all the equipment is function correctly.

Which AC infinity do you have and are you programming it? ( I know there are at least 2 different models) The dehumidifier is it always running?

It won't but removing the carbon filter will increase flow as I kinda feel it's plugged.

The intake is just not needed and running fans inline is a bad idea for the fans as they won't have the exact same cubic feet per min. Your intake fan could be slowing your exhaust fan and it also creates a lot more wear and tear on the fans as they fight eachother.

If you have one fan pushing air into the tent and another fan extracting air out of the tent the worst thing that is going to happen is either you are going to create a positive pressure inside the tent or the seams of the tent are going to leak air to make up for the air being extracted out by the exhaust fan and suck the tent in. I did not see anything about running fans inline just intake and exhaust.

Is it possible you have a programmable AC Infinity Fan with Humidity controls as part of the fans programming. I has just started to use those fans and the ones I purchased do not have the digital display. They just have an 8 position fan speed read out.

That is probably your reason why the tent is reading so high. The fan is controlling the humidity in the tent?
Now the dehu, you probably got something screwed up in programming it. So either get out the directions or get your smart phone and figure that one out.
