Finally installed the temperature sensor so my solar controller can charge the batteries properly.
Also ran a test of my new Coleman Mach 8 Cub air conditioner. One of the hottest days of the year here so far, temperature topped out around 98* in the shade. The only shade the camper had was the 4 Renogy solar panels. I didn't quantify with a thermometer but I was MORE than comfortable while installing the temperature sensor. I left the AC running, fan on low, while I ran to the hardware store for parts for my front hitch mount generator box build (look for a write up of that maybe later this week). When I got back it was downright chilly in there. :) And that was with the sun shield open on the Heki hatch!
