Isata 5 warm Arizona weather

Hi does anyone have any feedback on how the isata 5 or other Dynamax models fair in warm weather? I’m considering leaving my coach out for a few month in Lake Havasu Arizona and was wondering if anyone has stored their Dynamax in climates that can get to 120 and if theres any issues

I've stored several big bus D.P. a class A gas rig and my P/U with Camper for years in Yuma. Usually in an enclosed garage to keep the sun off. No problems at all. But if you are leaving it out in the sun beware it will age the paint and all the rubber. I've recorded 123 on my front porch.

Doesn't matter what you are storing in high temps, sun baked, windswept areas.

Your rig is going to take a beating.

Snowbirded in LHC for 7 years; had an RV lot there. Lots of folks do leave rigs outside, uncovered in the summer heat. Most will clean and wax rig then put several 5 gallon buckets of water inside to help with the low humidity and what it can do to the wood work and stuff. While waiting for a house to be built we lived in our Mobile Suites 5er during the summer months in LHC. No issues with it in those temps.
If possible you will be better off in a covered storage lot of which there are many. But they fill up quickly in advance of the snow birds flocking home beginning in late March. If just for a few months, I'd clean it, wax it (look up Portable Wishy Washy..do great job relatively cheeply) and put some water buckets in it and not worry. It is just like you were living in it, same climate you just aren't there. If it can be left hooked up you can also leave the A/C turned on at its highest setting (85deg) which helps. Did that, too.
