Then your vehicle has a cooling issue
Not necessarily. I have had perfectly healthy vehicles have this problem in extreme conditions.
Perfectly healthy vehicles, from what year? 1972, or 1973? :)
I also remember this being an issue on older vehicles from the 70s and 80s with big block V8s and/or cooling systems that were not designed well. However, I have NOT seen or heard of any vehicles having this issue, that were built in the last decade or so (unless there was something wrong, like a malfunctioning cooling fan, clogged radiator, etc).
Regardless what you decide, don't let the (incorrect) comments about RV traveling in the South
Sorry, but experience has dictated these comments are not incorrect. I have traveled many times through the DC area in multiple vehicle types. On multiple occasions due to extreme heat and extreme traffic with perfectly fine vehicles it has been necessary to shut down the a/c to avoid the engine overheating. If there's a TT or 5'er involved a generator is totally irrelevant.
If you look at the original poster's signature/profile, you will see that he owns a Motorhome, not a TT or 5er. Sooo, I doubt shutting off his overheard air conditioners will ever be necessary to help the chassis engine cool off. :)
