Thanks JRT for the input def. got me pointed in right direction now. Def. Glad I asked that could have been a 2000.00 dollar mistake. And yes gear head. We keep trailer plugged in and cool all summer when we are home. The brown exterior is nice but sure warms up the interior pretty fast. If we can keep the interior items cool it don't have to work so hard when we get to point B. Not to mention anything in cupboards that can melt has. Then I have to hear about it. Lol

I had a vinyl cover made to cover it and a piece of plexiglass on the bottom to keep road spray out. Plus it is locked in place with a chain and pad lock.

It goes without saying that Ohio has shorter summers than Texas. We still have leaves on the trees and I'm in shorts tinkering around the yard! We have summer, then January.
But, we have never noticed any damage inside the trailer while it sits out in the hot Texas summer. I keep both roof vents open and one or two windows open a bit. But, whatever pulls your trigger. LOL
