I'm working on insulating it and installing ceiling fans to help. A HVAC buddy of mine wants to install central air. That might be in next years budget! Luckily the fridge keeps the beer cold!

No doubt about that. Actually I need a shop, not a garage.
However I did just install a 30 inch fan with motorized pan and it’s much better. Prolly help you out a bit Tommy.

Yeah, Earl
I sold it to a friend who lives in Hayden, Idaho.

Going to be up there in a couple of weeks. Maybe you and Thor can get together and we all can go out for an adult beverage or lunch. It'd be fun to see y'all.

Post by: chris401 on July 26, 2019, 10:25:47 PM: I was making my way West to Roswell on the 18th of this month with the dogs. Had four 10 lbs bags of ice wrapped in trash bags for each to lay on.. Running 75-80 mph with the windows open it still got 105 inside the camper shell, glad I traveled a couple of days before it got hot.

Actually the weather here in the DFW has been on the mild side 95-99 out. However, what we usually don't have is high humidity. That has replaced the 108-115 degree temperatures.

I'll back that up and I'm "only" 63 LOL. That's not counting the network feed, wifi and Dish Network connection in the shop, along with the 42" LCD. Paid my dues, spent a lot of time like this in the way-back
