week ago sunday, it 109F here
and we are expecting triple digits latter part of this week
today was 95F
with a 3400w generator and 109f, i can only run (1) of my (2) a/c units
but with a little shade i can keep it about 85f in the front halve of the RV
leaving the rear on blower, and various fans going
for a nap, i will switch the front a/c to blower and turn the bedroom on cold
shade cloth over the RV might help as will pulling in the slides
yeah some RV's leave no room too move around when you pull in slides
still it something to 'think' about, might help you be a little cooler
during those triple digit days
Ours isn’t too bad with the slides in and would considering doing it. We do have the aluminum bubble wrap stuff in our windows which helps. Interestingly we can turn on the garage AC and shut the door and it alone will bring temps down to 83 when it’s 108 out but it’s a small space with no slides.
We are unfortunately in full sun which doesn’t help a bit of course. My dads acrerage is flat and baron. Not too worried about the heat as we go there on weekends to work on it and can retreat any time to our home AC. What was interesting was how opening the roof vent actually helped cool down the rv. Outside temps were 111. Inside temps 92ish before running the vent and 87ish after opening and running the vent. Kinda cool no pun.
