One of the biggest reasons I'm living in my RV is so I can chase the climate, west coast only.I was dreaming today of a mythical place(s) where it's "always" 75 degrees, with very low humidity and cool nights -- mostly because I live in the PNW now, and today it was 90 degrees!, with more humidity than I like. (I should plan next summer to get into a higher elevation, I think.)But I know my plans to head south as fall approaches are by no means foolproof. I've lived in or been through a whole lot of Calif, and know that I can get surprised with 90 degrees there even in the fall. (Still remember one CHRISTMAS EVE as a kid heading into Orange County with the car's A/C on! Did not feel very Ho-Ho-Ho that year! :D )What would be your vote for a west coast route that does its best to maintain mild temperatures simply by moving? I'd planned to keep returning to southern WA every June and leaving at the end of Sept or Oct, before it gets really cold again, and suppose I should still do that, in spite of the few really hot days which have me (currently) whining and rethinking this.Karen

Since one of you're prerequisites is "low humidity" , that ends the conversation right there. You simply will not come anywhere near a constant 72, or anything else by removing yourself from the coast. But I do like the handle

If you do find your ideal location, don't tell anyone.You'll never get a site at that location again. Just pack up and move as the seasons change. That's the nice part about RVing. You can change your scenery and climate anytime you chose.Enjoy your travels.

Better get use to 90 degree summer days unless you're going to go up in the mountains or up into the Yukon in the summer. And a few days are really worth getting all worked up about. So you run your AC for a couple of hours, big deal. We're in the PNW right now - yes, if was warm yesterday. But is cools at night. And while it might have seemed humid, you don't understand humidity until it is 95% and the temperature is 97° - welcome to the south. Now if the temperature didn't get below 80 at night, then you would have something to complain about but really, is it that bad? San Diego probably comes closest to having the most steady temperature, but even they get warm during the summer. Stay right on the Washington or Oregon coast for the summer - temperature will be usually 10+ degrees cooler and almost always have an onshore breeze. Of course that will mean that you will be on the coast when the Cascadia fault gives way and unleashes the huge tsunami, so even that has it's disadvantages.Barb

Okay, putting it on my map.

Hmmm, looks like Vietnam is only a 7533 drive (with hovercraft) from southern WA. Sounds do-able.

Yes, at one time I did consider San Diego to have the best weather year-round.

Except for the year my (ex)husband had his dental work done in Tijuana. Even the Mexicans waiting to cross back over the border into San Diego with him were melting and muttering, "Muy caliente".

Maybe the secret is to just keep hitting beaches up and down the coast? Too bad I'm not a trust fund baby!
