Thanks!!

If you do not use the cab area for living space during the day, curtain it off. Sure makes a big difference for heating when we camp early spring and late fall in Michigan. I also thought about using shrink wrap window insulation for windows especially in the bedroom thinking it would also help with condensation.

Thousands upon thousands of we Floridians spend the summer here . You worry to much , go to Florida , have fun , park in as much shade as possible . Do your shopping trips in the heat of the day and let Wal-mart pay the air cond bill !

My situations a bit different as I'm 27 and will be working from home(rv). Wal-mart prob wouldn't like me setting up at one of their display desks!

As a native Floridian, I want you to know this...

1. all the "good" spots are already taken.

2. we no longer have the infrastructure nor the natural resources (water!) to
support the constant flow of "refugees" into the state. The "golden goose"
is dead. Do some research and you'll discover that I am correct. Sorry.

Meh, all those old baby boomers are heading to pasture. There will be plenty of excess soon.

Move north in the summer, south in the winter.

Ya. If you want to live on a peninsula, Michigan has two of them.

FLAK!

Where there's a will... Go for it Knoxie! Persist! I escaped Europe a few years ago with €200 in my pocket to chase the American Dream here in South Florida. It's awesome.

Ps: I did install second A/C, did the work myself, $827 total.
