RVing in Phoenix in mid-Summer
We've been here in Apache Junction for over a month now. Before coming down from Washington State we were concerned about being in an RV in the summer heat of Phoenix.
What we have found is that with a late model coach and 3 rooftop AC units, there is no problem keeping the coach like a meat locker in the peak of mid afternoon heat in the RV.
We can maintain about a 30 degree difference in the coach, without resorting to reflective foil in the windows, auxiliary AC units, nor having to keep all the blinds pulled.
Parking the coach toward the NE and putting the awning on the curbside out, even at 108 outside in the shade, the coach almost feels like a meat locker at 78-79 degrees.
So... for those with similar rigs, if you've ever wondered how your rig would do in Phoenix in mid-summer... have no worries!
A few more images from the coach...
View to the Superstition Mountains as seen from my recliner in the coach.
Monsoon time here in the valley... many evenings there is a spectacular light show all around the mountains in the vallet.
