I mentioned Damp Rid, which (I think) is a one-time use thing. In other words, use it until it is full of water, then throw it out and replace it.

There is a similar product which might be better. It is called a renewable (or reusable or rechargeable) silica gel dessicant. You use it until it changes color, which indicates it is full. Then you microwave it or warm it in an oven to drive off the moisture, and reuse it.

Silica gel is the stuff that comes in a little paper tube in a bottle of vitamins, for example, so you know it is safe to have around. For RV use, you would buy a cloth bag of the stuff and hang it up. When it changes color, you heat it until the original color returns, and then rehang. Or buy two bags (they are cheap) so you always have a dry one when you need it. Some of them come with a decorative hanging container - some are just a basic bag. Look around Amazon.

The interior volume of a TM is roughly 1000 cubic feet, so think in those terms when you go to buy.
