Day 12 - Harlingen, TX - TT

Today started out foggy which turned into light rain. The GPS took us right through downtown San Antonio on our way south. Odd routing. We filled up again using the TDS Logistics fuel card and saved another $30 on 60 gallons of diesel. I can’t complain about that. Once we got near Corpus Christi, it really started to warm up. It hit 92°F this afternoon. I think we found “warm”.

Just out of curiosity, I turned on the dash A/C. I hadn’t worked in the past so I didn’t expect it to work now but it did! I guess when the cleaned the radiator they also cleaned the condenser since it was also in the stack. It didn’t get 40°F cold but definitely was cooler than the ambient temperature.

This park has two swimming pools both with jacuzzis. We are at the small one right now enjoying the warm breeze. And it’s 8:30pm. Not at all like Medina Lake where it got cold as soon as the sun set. Tonight’s low is 70°F!

This RV park is an Encore resort that we have access to from our Thousand Trails membership. We can stay at Encore parks for up to two weeks at a time then be out of their network for a week.

  1. 70 degrees at night, sounds really nice. Hopefully I find some of that "warm" when I return to AZ soon.

    1. Warm evenings are nice though the warmth and humidity caused me to start up the rear A/C around 10pm. We found very little “warm” in AZ...

  2. 92 is a bit too warm for me, but 70 and a lovely pool to swim in sounds lovely. I'm glad your AC is working. You're going to need it! :)

    1. 92°F is too warm but the pool really helps. I was pleasantly surprised that the dash A/C worked. It can’t cool down the interior at all but having cold air while driving is nice. To cool the interior while driving, you fire up the generator and both rooftop A/C units. That’s what I did last Fall while driving through the Midwest.
