For a HOT summer…….
A few hints and things I’ve done in setting my 5th wheel up for
the long hot dog days of summer. Now I
may be gone during some of this time, but the RV will remain cooler lol!
The rear of my 5th wheel sits in the RV park facing the west and the afternoon sun. What I’ve done here is to as Reflectix to the
rear windows facing the afternoon sun. Before I put this on yesterday I noticed
the window itself was pretty hot and it was only in the mid 80’s! Once I put
the Reflectix up it made quite a bit of difference!
Now the biggie and
yep another real big time money saver! Being in the valley or anywhere where
it’s over 100 like it gets here some days for several days on end. I only had
the one Carrier Air V that came with the 5’er. 13,500 BTU A/C was NOT enough fort
that kind of heat. I knew eventually I’d have to ad another A/C. I did my
research as usual and went the unconventional route (as I usually so lol).
Another RV type A/C added over the bedroom would run after cost and install
around $900 to $1,0000, plus need 50 amp service as well.
After extensive research AND with great apprehension lol I
bought a Amcor KF 9000E portable A/C at
Home Depot for just at $300. I had heard
these thing were noisy and didn’t work well so I figured I could take it back
if I had to, but also had read raving reports too. To mew these trhingsa cost less to run and movile and great for all recreational vehicles, inlcuding motro homes, travel trailers and anyone wanting to cut electric costs or the abilkity to run both a/c's in their Rv with 30 amp service!

While dry camping I got tired of fueling the Honda 2000 once or more times a day depending on use. I decided enough of that and after a little surfing on the web decided to make my own extended run time fuel tank. I found these on line for $100 or more + shipping. The exact same thing. Mine cost me a whopping $26! Somebody is making some serious profit on these lol!
Thumbs up by readers on this project!
 
Read more about this project here in my my Tech Tips section! This is a sweet deal. One of the smarter things I've done and still can't believe how inexpensive it is to set up!

I recently have gotten many pm's from those who are wanting to or considering full-timing. Some say it's their dream. I thought I'd offer my take on it for those interested. Keep in mind it's just my humble opinion and I honor everyones needs and opinion on the matter. This is just mine...............................
