Here in Texas, from May to September, either one is using a generator to power an A/C (a swamp cooler won't do, because it is humid as well), one is parked with hookups, or one isn't going to try camping. It is just too hot, and fans just blow around the humid air, and offer little to no relief.
Without A/C, it -might- be possible with older rigs with large, vented windows (the louver design that was commonplace.) With new RVs that have small windows, only a part of it is openable... no way, just because there is no way to circulate air effectively.
I read a lot of people who are from Canada or northern areas which are surprised by the fact that people actually use A/Cs most of the day... but 100-110 degrees (38 degrees C) is not sustainable indoors for long periods of time, especially with a high humidity level.
