Like your country, there is just too much to see on any single trip. <br /><br />Al Penwasser - It sounds to me like you've already put your plan into motion...<br /><br />Pasadena Adjacent - Thanks! I also like that one a lot. It does take a little juggling to always have Newman with us. We stay out of the desert during the really hot periods. During the other periods it's not too bad. If we can "plug in" to electricity, we set the AC to go on when it gets in the mid to high 70's. If there isn't any electricity we have a really good exhaust fan that also operates on our RV batteries and a thermostat. We leave a few windows open and if the fan goes on, it really sucks the air through the RV. We are also careful about where we park it. Always in shade if possible. It really hasn't been an issue, but we really do worry about it. Because we worry, we take ZERO chances with him and the heat.
