I can't seem to find a dehumidifier that a) has continuous draining (drain hose) and b) doesn't push in a ton of hot air.

I have a 4x4 tent so the bigger dehumidifier I usually use makes the temp go to 90+ real fast. And not really interested in dumping out a tank of water twice a day.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Id imagine only the biggers ones have the permanent drain hose. And with the bigger ones they will push more heat to dehumidify a bigger area obviously.

I use quite a big one in my bedroom which the tent sucks air in from and my temps dont really get very high. I only have a 2x4 though

You don't dehumidify the tent... you dehumidify the room the tent is in. You increase air exchamge to reduce temps and humidity in the tent and control the humidity and temperature of the room the tent sits in.

What country are you in? I can find a dehuey with drain I'm sure.

Or how about doing a little DIY and installing a drain in the plastic tank a pipe thread to a barbed fitting with some good sealant would do the trick, little to no pressure on the fitting just gravity feed to a drain or a larger rez.

Blow the exhaust outside and you probably won't need a dehumidifier.

In short you can humidify a tent but you have to dehumidify the room the tent is in. If exhausting directly into the room this will require a larger capacity dehumidifier.
