I just wanted to get some feedback from those that travel in the summer. As these class A DP coaches have large windshields and large interiors compared to a car or pickup truck, does your dash A/C keep up on a 95 degree day? Or do you have to run your generator and roof air while going down the road too?

This is considering that there is no one in the back of the rv while traveling. Thanks in advance.

No. Gen runs constantly in the summer while driving. It's good for it and keeps us nice and cool. TV works, outlets work, refer saves lp, and most importantly we would roast without it.

We constantly run the interior air while driving. Tempuratures in the afternoon often are in the high 90 and 100+ is not unusual, as I am sure know living in Utah. In the morning, or in the mountains the dash air may work fine, but usually by noon we kick in the generator and keep cool.

Dash air usually keeps us comfortable with air directed on us. If there's more than just the two of us or if it's unusually hot for the furry friends, I'll run the genny and overhead air.
