Have you thought of replacing the car you're currently storing there with something more suitable?

What have you got in there that needs looking after? (sorry too lazy to read back, and a bit drunk...) You may be better off with a solar panel connected to a pc case fan and a bit of ducting and lashings of acf50 with the extra ventilation.
On my boat I have a small solar panel inside the glass hatch connected to a pc fan inside a mushroom vent and it's always dry inside when I get there and that is on something with it's arse sitting in a cold river, ventilation may be the key for low power options, in a naturally damp building it will likely take more moisture out than it brings in.

Got a new 3000w inverter for work van...so the 1500w old un is a bit fried but hopefully fixable.
I tested work van set up on dehumodifrier and it worked fine.
The tent isn't rapidly reaching outside humidity so have hope that occasional dehumidifrying will help.

The van test was only a brief test. I retested for longer (4mins) and the dehumidifier runs initially but then comes up with an error. I retested with diff dehumidifier and it came up with an error. Hoping that this is because new van inverter is not pure sine wave. If that's not the problem then I'm sunk before even starting a solar project.

If you're handy with a soldering iron it's easy to build a square to sinewave convertor, with 3 resistors and 3 capacitors. The only catch is the cost of the correctly rated power resistors and capacitors can be pretty high it's probably not worth it unless you buy secondhand components, but 'quality issues'
900 with better bits. Owes me nothing, Makes me smile

She wouldn't mind at all. We already discussed hanging a hodaka off a beam in there. (‿)
problem solve then, in part

Can you rig a solar panel or wind turbine on the roof to top it up, and some kind of switch to run the dehumidifier when the battery is between certain voltages?

Voltage sensing relays are freely available, I have one on my boat I can run a spare fridge (beer) when engines are running or shore power plugged in but not killing batteries when off grid and not running, I think I set it to about 13.6V on and 13.0V off, switches up to 140A if memory serves me right, they make a very cheap split charging setup for campers and the like.
