We may be moving to Wickenburg, AZ this summer. It is a bit cooler than Phoenix but still scorching for a Colorado boy. At some point us and the cats and dogs will have to try to survive for a few days or perhaps a couple of weeks in the summer heat.
Our 2016 Journey has three A/C units. We've been out in it upper 80s and low 90s and have been very comfortable. What temp can we expect to see the bus cool down to when the temps reach 110?
Not really looking forward to your answers, because I think I know the answer.
You are right! 110 temp. anywhere is hot but especially in Ariz. where the heat is dry. Based on my own experiences in Ariz. here are some tips: make sure you have 50 amp service, turn your air conditioner in the morning before it gets real hot to help keep your RV as cool as possible, plan on getting all your daily tasks and shopping done by 11:00 am, plan on spending time in Air conditioned Malls even if you are not shopping but rather just looking and keeping cool. Temporarily Insert some 2" strips around the edges of your slide outs, install new air filters. Drink 8 bottles of H20 daily.
