We have the silver window sheets, then I pull the shades, and then I made some room dakerening curtains. We also love our rechargeable double fans. It is a small tower and has movable fans! Best investment ever.
Good tips. I grew up without AC, and did similar things. The one thing I would add is if it cooler in the morning, make a pasta salad or other premade options that do not require cooking during the hot hours of the day.
Was near Taos just over a week ago 47 degrees in the morning and 8 Mid 80s during day. Up in the mountains around Taos it was 60-65 in the shade. Gorgeous
I cannot answer your question, though my husband and I appreciate your information. We are in the research stage and we are watching you from the beginning. Have you though of a Podcast? THANK YOU!
Don't forget dude when giving your advice on sun side of the RV in a hot location please consider which side of the RV your refrigerator is on. if the refrigerator is on the sun side of the RV it can affect the efficiency.
You can also use cheap clip fans in living area to help AC circulate cool air. High temperatures can also affect your refrigerator if you are getting direct sunlight on the outside refrigerator vent. To help with it, shade the vent with tarp or shade screen and add computer fans to the area to exhaust out the heat from the refrigerator. This is real important to avoid food spoilage and protect you insulin.
Fantastic fan sucking air out... close windows on the sunny side .. insulate.. blankets .. etc.. open window on shaded side to let fan suck cool air into shaded side windows ... 😊
We have an outdoor kitchen with refrigerator, two burner stove top, sink and bumper mount swing around grill. We do the majority of our cooking out there. The door flips up on hydraulic shocks and provides shade as well as a roof if it’s raining. We rarely cook inside and use the microwave as a bread box, lol. It saves on the a/c inside. Lots of RV’er’s consider the outdoor kitchen a waste of space, but we don’t. It’s an asset for us, plus gives extra refrigerator space, which we need with kids. If I don’t want to run a/c at night, I’ll open up vent fans to suck out the hot air and it also helps suck in outdoor air through the windows. We always keep doors closed as well. Great tip on makeup storage. I’ve done the same with my eyeliner to keep it from melting. Never leave makeup in the car 💄🚫 🚙. We also keep the lights and TV turned off on hot days. They all emit heat. Even the vacuum. Great video 🙏🏼
Add an extra portable ax unit from Home Depot! Lifesaver in the Ozarks this summer! We also mounted an oscillating fan in the bedroom where the extra ax unit is to circulate air to the front! Come on, fall! We’re over this heat. Ugh.
Smart going to a higher elevation, we stayed 2 nights a week a part at a Harvest Host in Billings the brewery was excellent but 104 degrees at bed time was brutal the first stay. The second night a week later (a week ago today) was much better as it did cool down after dark.
Even though we are spoiled with our large solar setup and can run our ACs it's still helpful to follow these tips as well! Definitely helps our AC usage be sustainable and have to augment less with a generator when it doesn't have to run all the time! We've been thinking of getting some of those awning shades as well. Would love that.
I used to make a portable AC for my dog so I could leave her in the car for a while. Some blue ice in a soft sided insulated lunch bag. I'd open the zipper and wedge a small battery operated fan in the opening. It would blow cold air for hours. Would work as a tabletop AC.
@@wealthbuilder1016 never good to leave animals in a car during heat, no matter what you use. Doesn't take long for a dog to overheat. Also nowadays people will break out your car windows if they see a dog in a car on a hot day.
I’m guessing wall thickness as well as insulation thickness is probably a factor. I think I would avoid any long term hot weather and find somewhere cooler even if I had to drive awhile. Hello from central Minnesota where we have had over 20 days of 90 degree weather. Yuck!
Great info. Suggestion for videography: Please stand more in one location and do not take frequent steps towards then back away from the camera. That repetitive motion messes with people that have verttigo. THX for considering this. Safe travels. OBTW - new rubber duckie travels with Cheri!
We are in west texas and it is miserable. 95° inside with AC's going as hard as they can. Are there any reflective coatings that can be applied to the roof to reduce the heat from the sun?
Soft start and Rvairflow for air conditioning. Warm windows curtains. Going even higher in elevation. Do what you can to get the results from Toms video a lot of great information.
Clothing, wear lightweight cotton shorts and tops, maybe tank-top or no shirt (if you’re a guy 😁) no bra or underwear, stray water on your face or keep your hair wet

@@juneaufleurs163 No need for concern... I live in Florida and know how hot it can get. This was years ago and I purposely owned only cars with sunroofs, so I could just leave them open, plus would leave windows down and park in shade. I was a public speaker and would only take her when I had early morning talks. She stayed home otherwise. The cooler was just an extra precaution... something I originally made for her for the patio. She was very spoiled.
You are correct... in cars without sunroofs. Otherwise... Heat rises... right out the open sunroof. Unless the car is a dark color, a completely open sunroof and windows results in a car the exact same temp as outside air. Cooler if it's also parked in shade.
Nope, not true. Sunroof is not the factor that will cool down the car. Its bad all around to leave your pet in the car windows and sunroof open even on a 75° day as the interior will heat very quickly.

We use a tower fan when we sleep to add circulation. Plus it’s a narrow fan to save room.

HI I WANTED THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT ADVICE WE ARE LOOKING AT GETTING AN RV NEXT YEAR WE HOPE THANK YOU
Step #1 Chose mountain life over beach life! Big solar and soft starters on AC are a game changer.
You are so right Tommy Love and safe travels To ye both love from IRELAND☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪

Great job
90 I wish we hit 112 last week here in California we live in the valley. it was 100 today.. 8/1/21
Watch out for grizzlies up there! 😬
Great video! Great info Thanks!
Not in Canada cold here this summer!!
I’m guessing wall thickness as well as insulation thickness is probably a factor. I think I would avoid any long term hot weather and find somewhere cooler even if I had to drive awhile. Hello from central Minnesota where we have had over 20 days of 90 degree weather. Yuck!
A very good/helpful video, I have mini split coming with the easy start already installed in it.
My wife and I and Brother and his wife are going to William’s Arizona on the 3 of September. What’s some good eating places in William’s?
great advice Tom thanks!
did you kno thanks = tom hanks?
@@juneaufleurs163
awesome!
Tom Tom you ok?My suggestion is get a ac unit to cool your place down. This may help bruuh
Where did yall buy your rear kayak rack? I have a 14.5 ft yak I'd like to keep but she's beefy at 67 lbs.
Where is Cheri??
Great info.
Suggestion for videography: Please stand more in one location and do not take frequent steps towards then back away from the camera. That repetitive motion messes with people that have verttigo. THX for considering this. Safe travels.
OBTW - new rubber duckie travels with Cheri!
Love the song lyrics... who sings it? what is the title?
What rack are you using to transport the kayaks? (Sorry I know it’s off topic)
Coolness infused logic advice ..... Enjoy your dipping/floating in the stream/creek, looks effervescent clear!!
We are in west texas and it is miserable. 95° inside with AC's going as hard as they can. Are there any reflective coatings that can be applied to the roof to reduce the heat from the sun?
I am speaking about an RV not my home in this instance.
In reference to an RV
Tom can you guys get a ac system?
Tom
What is the music you play at end of videos (The Confessions)
Thanks JamesW
Great video i really enjoyed it top shlef
Thank you!
Cool spot!
It was!
How do you attach the shade to your awnings?
Place a damp wash cloth on your forehead or neck on those real hot nights.
Soft start and Rvairflow for air conditioning. Warm windows curtains. Going even higher in elevation. Do what you can to get the results from Toms video a lot of great information.
Oh no what happened? I saw that you were able to run both ACs when you installed the solar?
What was cell service like there? Good internet connection? Would love to park and work in that place for a week!
Verizon was great, ATT was not.
@@EnjoyTheJourneyLife Excellent! Thanks 😊
Im hoping you guys can get a ac.This may help Tom it may OMG
Clothing, wear lightweight cotton shorts and tops, maybe tank-top or no shirt (if you’re a guy 😁) no bra or underwear, stray water on your face or keep your hair wet
11 volts is really low for Lithium. My battery shuts itself off around and still at 12.0 volts
What year and model is your trailer?
I don't get it. You guys have room for like....10 more solar panels :LOL:
Yes, a future upgrade!
Wear minimal clothes (swimsuit) wet skin , stand in front of fan

Dont do this! What if something happened to You and you couldn't get back to the car. The dog would die painfully from heat stroke or baked.
