Summer storage in Arizona
Hello: Don't know if this is the correct place for this question but here goes. We are planning to leave our 5th wheel in Arizona over the summer and am wondering what if anything is suggested...

I definitely would look for a storage facility that is covered, if only to get the relentless sun off your rig.
If you were building a storage area, I'd consider building an aluminum carport or pole barn, put solar panels on top with a good converter and some maintenance free batteries, and have the electricity obtained from the panels power some fans, just to keep the air blowing. Adding an inverter doesn't hurt either for keeping the batteries topped off... but I'd recommend a Battery Minder or other trickle charger so there is far less chance the batteries will be boiled dry.
