I have our camper parked next to our house. It's plugged in constantly. The A/C is set to 80 degrees, and runs almost every day of the year sporadically. Heat and humidity will trash the inside of the camper here in FL. Our camper arrived late 2006, and the interior still looks practically new because of the climate control.
