Nice thing about an RV is that believe it or not you can move them to a place where it is not 100 degrees. We were in Bishop, CA two days ago where it was 100 degrees. In Barsow it was 105 degrees. In Paso Robles it was 110 degrees. In Monterey it was 75 degrees. Took 5 hours to get from Barstow to Monterey but it was worth it. Two weeks earlier when we hit the high temps in the Bishop area we headed into the mountains and at 7,000 feet elevation it was 25 degrees cooler.
Another consideration is the heat sink effect of asphalt. It is a lot cooler in the evening out in the open desert than in town with all the asphalt soaking up the sunlight all day long.
