One a/c will pull app. 12 amps. Figure it will run half the time(hotter is more). Look at your electric bill and KPH cost and do the math. Amps-12 x volts-120= app 1440 watts.
Around here I would say at least $50 mo.

I'm guessing about $15/month. It's not a lot. It doesn't run all that much. Once it's cool inside the ac just keeps it there. If I'm on the patio I'll hear it come on maybe once an hour, maybe a bit more when it's 95 outside. Of course it helps a lot with humidity too.

^^This.
In my area we pay $0.11 per kWh. That would be $57.00 using 12 amps @ 50% of the time.

My bill doesn't go up anywhere near $57
Total run time per day can't be more than 4-5hours. It doesn't run at all at night and cycles on during the heat of the day.
I guess I'll have to log its runtime and update y'all.

5 hours per day would be about $24 at my rates.

Avg electric per month in AZ during the summer (95-115 degrees) is about $110 . AC runs from 8am to midnight.

Boy we got off topic with this one. Part my fault. It went from "Loading and unloading tips" to "How much does it cost to run your AC".

Boy did I get a good chuckle out of this... but you know why... because I'm the DW that does all the packing for us as well.... I'm not retired but I work from home so I do alittle at a time and many things as others have stated are duplicated. So it's only Clothes, meds, Taped CDs, and loading food (some staples like flour, sugar, etc) are only loaded at the beginning of the season. BUT I'm still standing at the door saying... CAN WE GO... Thanks for the chuckle - Debbie

I even keep my cat's dry food sealed in a mouse-proof container and in the TT ready to go. I forgot it once and had to find a grocery store to buy him a can of people salmon for food. That was the last time I stopped keeping his food in the TT. I do take the cat food out of the TT during the winter to avoid mice/critters, which I have never had, but I leave the non-perishable food in the TT otherwise. RVing is supposed to be easy; stock your 5er with as many basics as you can to simply things. I keep a list of what needs replenishing/replacing and do so when I return from a trip if it does not need to be replaced during a trip. Super easy to stay on top of everything I need in the TT, save for perishable foods.

AMEN to the restocking of anything that ran out upon our return home... If towels need washed - I wash them and put them back in the camper as soon as they are washed....

Elapse time loading and unloading is less than 1 1/2 hrs. for 4 days or more, 30 mins for weekend trips.

A collapsible wagon.... ??? I would love to see a pic of this contraption - sounds like the 9th wonder of the world and an INGENIOUS idea to boot!!!
