I hope you have a second A/C and 50 amps to use them!!!

That's an interesting point in avoiding driving in the heat - drive at night. I suppose timing is critical and arriving at a campground late at night or early in the morning makes setup quite difficult because you'll not be allowed to setup if it's beyond the "quiet hours". This happened to us once at a late arrival, 11:30 pm, but the CG had an overnight place for us to park. We were late because I had two Chinese bombs blow up and that delayed us quite a bit.

Yup, diesel is still at $4.07 where I live (southern California, about 75 miles SSW of Palm Springs, CA.

We left the slides in and slept in the rig and first thing the next morning we got to our site and set up right before the heat started. Overall I didn't like it, but I'm not a fulltimer and might have to consider that option if traveling through hot climates.

If you drive during the hot day and arrive for setup, it takes a while to cool down a hot rig from the day's drive. With only one A/C in my rig, it never quite cools down.
