Thank you for the warm welcome. Beside the desert ( which is beautiful place for camping ) we do have mountains semi tropical ,prairies (similar to savanna ), and beautiful beaches ( on the Arabian Gulf and Red Sea).

No shade lol. Mostly boondocking camping no hook ups no fees. Just drive your way once you find spot you like and it doesn't belong to anybody set you camping gear and enjoy.

Welcome, When I think of camping the last place i would think is Saudi! I would bet that a second AC might not even keep it cool enough. Would love to see some pictures from over there of your camping sites! There are alot of really experienced people here and can answer just about any question you may have. I can see parts being a real problem.

Happy Camping!

Thanks a lot for the welcome. I agree with you one AC isn't enough during summer (June July and August) but the rest of the year the AC isn't needed. I wish you could spend one night in the desert believe me you will love it's magical. We have 2.4 square kilometers in area desert is 1/3 of it I will try to post some pictures if the forum would allow it.
What encouraged me to be member of this forum that I have seen down to earth and warm heart members who would help and spread their knowledge in a very modest way.
Thanks a gain and happy camping

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. It is getting into fall in Canada so we do not have to worry about air conditioning anymore.

As others have said, welcome to the forum. There is a lot of knowledge here to learn. And I agree, deserts are a beautiful place. I have never seen your desert but have experienced the desert in the UAE. Let's just say I will not try to cross any desert by camel again. Campers are much better.

Hello and welcome. Do you have an rv service center of any type over there? If so you could probably try working with them. Is your unit pre-wired for a second AC? The other thought is to have summer be your down season. In the meantime, a good strategy is to get the unit super cold during the cool hours, but reflective insulation on your Windows and skylights to block the heat from coming through the glass. At minimum close the shades. You could also try adding a ceiling fan or at least bring a fan .
