- Dutch_12078Explorer IIHot/humid weather, A/C's on. Cold weather, furnaces on. Mild weather, windows open. It's not rocket surgery... ;)
- whjcoExplorerWe're using ours right now. Temperature is supposed to be over 90 tomorrow with high humidity.

What part of SD is the trailer parked at? Familiar with the town curious where you never need A/C. Even my buddies in Clairemont need it a couple times a year. Most of those homes dont have it.
I think in the last 15 years I've probably turned my AC on a total of 5 times. - travelnutzExplorer IIWe have RV'd a lot for over 55 years now and our RV's have always had A/C in them but I can count on one hand how many times we have ever turned the A/C on. We are both 78 years old now. We so literally hate A/C as it's noisy and can be so chilly feeling and besides we like to be outside in the shade and not stuffed inside the RV like captive puppets.
We are smart enough not to go to hot places in with our RV's in the summertime and almost always camp near a lake or water with its natural cooling effect. We live on the shores of Lake Michigan and A/C is basically never needed for our home (our home A/C hasn't even been turned on once in the last over 10 years so I don't even know if it still works and don't care) nor when we RV travel as we do it a lot and also boondock a lot and not going to run a generator with it's noise.
So basically we look at the weather and the temperature forecasts before we RV anywhere. If hot in the forecast, we simply change our destination to a more pleasant location. Simple as that! We almost never make reservations so no issues abound.
It means NO trips south in the summer ever as what fun is it to be trapped inside your RV with noisy A/C running constantly and it's just too hot and miserable to go outside. DUMB!!! Also, I am an insulation freak and we never buy a cheap poorly insulated RV or a colored RV, just boring white! It works!!! It's the key to not sweltering inside an RV and then only needs fantastic fan because heat always rises so blow it out the roof. At worst a quiet fan or two for air circulation and real comfort. - spoon059Explorer IIMid Atlantic region, where summers usually get into the 80-90% humidity range we have our AC going. Gets too hot and humid inside the tin box to be able to sleep.
- Cocky_CamperExplorer IIWe are in hot and humid SC. We run ours if it is over 72* inside or humid, which is pretty much April-November, and in between if needed at other times...
- RockyMtExplorer IIWe had a neat freak in our camping club- never used his bath area. Spent all his time cleaning.

Start one titled: “RV toilets. How many won’t poop in theirs?” :B

Yep,that one blows me away.
Talked to several who actually emphasized the fact that they've never used the toilet or shower in the RV. - Cloud_DancerExplorer IIYes, we have it and if we need it we use it,...to the max if the situation calls for it.
