Camping in a high temperature area.
Are there any brave souls camping in the PNW during the heat wave. Are people using their RV and its AC to beat the heat? Has the sound of generators increased?

Wife and I went camping Jun 18th for three days. Ambient temp was 100° and rising at the campgrounds on our first day. AC compressor would trip the breaker within minutes. Unbearable temp reached 113° inside so we left the trailer and drove home. Returned the next morning and towed the trailer back home. I had problems with the AC tripping the breaker last year so I replaced the capacitor and added a hard start capacitor. Tested it out and had no further problem until last week's camping.
With the heat wave we've having, I decide to just replace the AC with new, so swapped the existing 11 yr old last week and finished yesterday.
Today's ambient temp was 100° and inside was a comfortable 78° at the minimum temp setting. Happy wife, happy life.
We're headed out this Friday for a week's camping.
