It's a desert climate? Maybe the humidity is so low it doesn't matter. Do you ever see condensation on the windows after running the dryer? If so, does it disappear quickly? If the condensation never appears before running the dryer, and stays only a short time afterwards, maybe there is not much of a problem. Up here in Canada, humidity is a big problem, especially in winter when we try to keep the warm air inside. It can get down to -30 or -40 degrees C, so it's hard to stay warm. But we still vent dryers outside due to the humidity buildup. > Luckily these things are so expensive to run they don't get the > chance very often.
