I'm a long term RV'er, I live in a 32ft 5th wheel in west Phx, Az. Last year Phoenix hit(as well as almost everywhere) all time highs. It was 120 degrees or so in July'23. I had to stop using the roof ac because it drained too much electricity, my bill was through the roof a couple years ago and it really never cooled down. I got a window ac, 12000 btu's, my bill went down and adding a big fan to the other end of the trailer, it's nice, comfortable. I might later get a smaller window ac for the bedroom, but for now it does pretty good 😎
@@BOOTENWAGEN yes, on my B-day, I had to sit w'no lights or tv, only the AC and fan going all day, or so. I had to get up a few times to reset the circuit breaker. The fan comes in handy, having it on high pointed right at the breaker box, it's not much, but it helps.
The rv park next door, Desert View is cooler as they have very tall oleanders between sites, better power and a swimming pool! Wee have stayed the in July a few times passing thru or as a base to go to laughlin. Much nicer.
Enjoyed seeing your Cat. Ill take heat over cold any day of the week, Oatman is just a hope skip and jump away, higher in elevation and of course cooler.
I actually lived in Needles for a while and this is an accurate description .❤

120F! That is spicy. From the sound of it, RVs really do have a big time inefficiency problem with their roof units.

I guess we got lucky!
