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!

    I have a bunch of Park Models that I rent out here in Yuma . I turn off the elect, water for 7 months. I also leave 7 or 8 gallon milk cartons thruout
    the Park Models and Houses with water in them. I cover all the windows, toilets,
    all drains in sink, shower etc I have been doing this since 2000. Works for me.
    We also leave two cars here for 7 months. I make sure batterys are charged up,
    I disconnect the battery. Come back in Oct and cars start right up.
    The cars are under awning cover with 3 car covers over them and still get dust in and over them

  • Don't think I would leave it plugged in with the air on.

    We have a park model in Yuma which we close up and turn off the power. I purchased several 5 gallon buckets at Home Depot with lids. I cut about 1/2 of the lids out and, fill them with water to keep a little humidity in the air. I also add a little cooking oil to the drain traps to keep the water from evaporating. So far that has worked fine for us.
