Learn best from your mistakes
I read a lot here and have learn a ton of stuff! But sometimes you'll remember your mistakes. I don't camp a lot during the heat of the summer here in Texas, but some times, you gotta do what you...

We use our oven on every trip. We turn on the exhaust fan over the stove/oven and it sucks the heat venting out of the back stove. Fiver does not heat up and once oven has cooled down turn the fan off.
U must be not in 100 deg. temps with the ACs working their hardest with a 40 ft camper and HOW acs are placed :)
fan works so much for us, then it is all ABOUT the heat being generated.
I think it is truly about location, temps outside, acs ya have and all that.
a fan over the stove works well in certain situations, not for most I would think if it was OUR temps etc. during a certain trip.
Live and camp in Alabama. 90°'s and high humidity, typical Alabama summer weather. We have a 40' fiver, four slides with a 15000 and 13500 BTU A/C's. The minute the oven comes on to the time it cools down the vent fan is on. We have one A/C over the kitchen ducted to front living room and bathroom, ducts to rear bedroom have been closed off. If needed we will turn on rear non ducted bedroom A/C and leave bedroom door open. Yearly I pull apart my A/C's and clean both evaporator and condenser coils to ensure optimum cooling.
On a typical summer day only main A/C stays on set to 74° and it will cycle on/off until around 3:00 pm and then stays on until 8:00 or 9:00 pm.
