Day 43, 44 - Apache Junction, AZ - TT

Saturday (43) - We drove around 300 miles to Apache Junction, AZ, which is east of Phoenix. We are at an Encore Park which is part of our TT membership. It is a "classic" RV park complete with nice, level sites and a concrete patio. We have 50 amp power but our rear A/C unit is being flaky again and not turning on. We ran the generator for almost half of our drive here so we could run the roof A/C units as the dash air is almost useless when it's this hot. I didn't want to chance the long climbs going through Flagstaff since I wanted to make sure that there were no other coolant leaks.

Sunday (44) - This is our site for the next couple of weeks. It’s definitely on the warm side but, surprisingly, sitting outside under the awning with a light breeze is pretty nice. You’ll notice the location of the palm tree. After we were all set up, I noticed that I wouldn’t be able to get the awning out. This morning, we pulled the front two slides in, lifted the jacks and moved back about 10” or so. Just enough to get the awning deployed but still enough room to get in/out easily. The awning is staked out in case the breeze picks up. 

Thankfully, the rear air conditioner decided to start working again. The one front unit alone has difficulty coping with the interior volume with the slides out. It decided to start working around 11:30pm by just randomly turning on even though the thermostat was set since we arrived.  

The pool is closed on Sunday...

    1. 75°F sounds pretty good. 90°F is okay if I’m not doing much outside.

  2. 90 sounds good to me right now too. Going to Oklahoma Thursday for a niece wedding and hoping for warm. Supposed to be in the 70's. Then off to Denver to visit son but probably not as warm. We've been working hard, ready for a break. Nice looking park you're in right now. Yeah, RV AC are frequently a pain. Had it recharged lately or does it need something more?

    1. I guess it’s better than -30°F! Enjoy your trip to OK and CO. It’s going to be nice getting out again...

    2. Once the A/C starts, it produces plenty of cold air. I think that it’s the remote temperature sensor. High resistance (or open circuit?) translates to low temperature. A/C won’t turn on and heat won’t turn off. It does both.
