I agree with all that has been said. Always enjoyed your posts and suggestions. We live in Phoenix, so not too far from you. If you are looking for someplace cool but close to your current home for all or part of the summer, try Pinecrest Lake RV resort in Overgaard, AZ. You can rent a place to stay or if you had an RV there are some lots you can park on.
http://www.pinecrestlake.org/ this is their web site. A great place with very friendly people. We spent a month there one July. Great small town 4th of July parade and fireworks. We know a number of people who own lots and could help you with questions. One is a past MOC member. Want contact data either call or send me an email. 602.678.4186 or
