When I read brown out I shuddered. My friend here took his FW up to Showlow and plugged in to a friends house. Two days later they had a power surge. Took out his converter, fridge, microwave and LCD TV. He had to pull it back to Tucson to FreedomRV and fortunately his extended warranty is going to cover it. Ugggg!!

two choices. pay some one to do it or get the bf up on the roof!!!! is you camper wired for a second unit? if it is it is alot more better yep i am fried today! easier to do since the wireing is there. but it gets done through an existing roof vent. the per wired ones may also use a dual zone thermostat the other ones the controls are built into the unit so you only need to pull power to the new unit.the hard part is carring the unit up a ladder(i wear white socks i'm old) cronologicly! have fun

Red necks, White soxs and Blue ribbon beer. That's how to ride out this heat wave.

At least 3 members of this forum, who shall remain nameless, are obviously suffering from heat stroke. How can I tell? Well, they all display some of the classic symptoms: hallucinations, confusion and strange behaviour.
Each one seems to have some weird and on-going obsession with white socks. What is it about white socks that seems to occupy so much of their time and thoughts?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I discarded my white socks long ago. They were old, worn out, and wearing thin - something like the socks that keep on popping up here in this Odds 'n Ends section.
Red Necks, White sox and Blue Ribbon may be one way to beat the heat wave but I prefer good old Rickard's Red from the Great White North.
Stay cool guys - and gals.

A few more beers and I will be suffering from something but not heat stroke. My goodness Luray is hot today! Even the pool is like 80+ which is odd for here.

Just stay hydrated my man ..... that's the secret. But keep it to water on travel days. Travel safely and enjoy, Hank

* at night and still 93 outside with about 100 heat index. The Alpine is about 75 but dry. HTis morning we had dew on the windows

Forgot to add that I went into my machine shop and the outdoor wood furnace was so hot that the blower was on pumping air around the place. Seemed to actually help a bit

As I was afraid of one extreme to the other. 5 in the afternoon and it down to 81 already at this rate it could snow by morning. Well maybe not snow but real cold like 70 maybe even 68

Well the AC just shut off for the first time in quite a few days. I think it's 77 out at almost 9 PM. Just turned back on off less than 5 minutes but it had a short rest

Just checked 74 going down to 70 better check the propane

We were camping at Jame River state park in central VA Temps in the low 100's all week. River was closed to boating and swimming due to a sewage spill upriver... So we just gave up and came home a day early. First time the 1 AC in the camper couldn't keep up. Not sure if I really need another AC or not..

I will never own a 5er with only 1 A/C. Any 5er needs two in my opinion.

The Alpine with one AC unit was keeping up but barely and it's in the shade for all but 2-3 hours before noon. My truck on the other hand seems to have kicked the AC into overdrive!! Start it and 10 seconds later ice cold air hasn't worked this good ever I just hope it's not one of the last hurrah kinda thing and will die soon
