Dealing with hot temperatures

Living in an RV full time is not quite the same as living in a house / apartment, or mobile home. These motorhomes are not insulated as much or as well.

We've noticed that since it's been around 30 - 34C (89 - 93F) lately, it's difficult to keep the RV cool inside. The A/C is running non-stop all day (set at 77F in the day; and 72F at night for easy sleeping). We decided to hang sheets around the front windshield (inside) in order to keep the sun's rays out. There are curtains that came with the RV, but they can only keep so much out.

We've looked at getting professional custom made windshield covers (http://www.rvtoystore.com/sunguardorder.html), but that's not in the budget for now.

I'm guessing it will be the same when October & November rolls around - we'll have to keep the heat on most of the day before we head out to Florida.

Updates at Braemar Valley Park

Well, we've been at Braemar Valley Park for over 2 months now, and time to update 'life in the RV'.

Just goes to show, if you wait long enough, you'll get things for dirt cheap, or even 'free'.

Someone in the park gave us this clothes dryer as they no longer wanted / needed it.

Same goes for a BBQ - we hummed and hawed about getting one (charcoal vs gas). It happens that I won one last Saturday night in a draw where you buy tickets and put them in a basket for a chance to win that prize. It's charcoal, and we don't mind one darned bit.
