We often boondock in really hot weather. We have a gen and A/C but most of the time we tough it out.
Here's some things that help:

We bought battery powered, personal fans. The one linked HERE is excellent. Quiet and runs a long time on batteries. We found them at a Walmart. Really good for sleeping in the heat.
