Leaving RV in AZ in summer?

Has anyone left their RV in AZ in the summer with electric plugged in & a/c on? If so, what did it cost you per month? What other recommendations would you suggest for someone thinking about doing this? Thanks!
  • OP: Are you planning to leave it in AZ every summer? One or two seasons are not going to hurt it in any way but if every summer you'll need extra precautions. Perhaps try to find covered storage which would help. For your woodwork, get a good oil polish and apply just before leaving. I wouldn't leave the electric on unmonitored.

    Another thought..... take it to higher elevation like Flagstaff, Williams, Show Low, Pinetop and store it there. The summer is so much cooler. Pick it up upon your fall return.... or even stay in those places for the summer... very nice. :)

    When we bought our park model in Yuma the neighbor told us they get about three inches of rain her at a time. That means one drop every three inches.
  • Some good ideas here. A big plus would be to park under cover or garage. Wouldn't leav eelectric on.
