Discussions on "how to camp and be comfortable in the high heat seasons" always leave me scratching my head.
i.e.:
Considering what RVs cost, probably no one would buy one without built-in A/C and usually a built-in generator to run it ... yet the bulk of owners try to avoid high temperature camping at all costs ... especially without hookups. And in addition, some (of us) campers don't function well at high altitudes.
Many of our best trips have been across the U.S. during the summer months, including the Southern U.S. at non-high altitudes. Part of what made them good trips was the lack of crowds in or near our camping spots -> I assume due primarily due to the high outside temperatures.
Since our RV is adequately self-contained with it's quiet-enough generator and an interior that can be curtained off in sections to maximize A/C cooling (and heating) efficiencies, we don't have to within reason let high-altitudes, cool seasons, or warm seasons dictate our camping.

Bill Several years ago, we stopped at Havasu City to break up our trip from Ca to GC, We experienced the same sort of thing, We left Havasu at 115 degrees and got to the South Rim of GC 82 degrees. If we ever get back out that way again, we'll go to the North Rim.
