We got up this morning and prepped the RV for travel. Susie took care of some last minute things, we returned the car rental and took off for Idaho. I was pretty excited about going to Idaho because it has been a long time since I was in a state that I have not previously been to. After driving about 10 minutes we were in Idaho.
Well, that was unexpected…
Here I was thinking about what it was going to look like and BAM! We were there. While I am on the subject of Idaho, someone from their transportation department needs to travel to other states. The Idaho speed limit is 65. That’s cool, I don’t travel any faster in the RV anyway. Every time you come to a street, or a ‘Junction’ in Idaho parlance, the speed limit is reduced to 45. Then back to 65. It got to the point where trying to use the cruise control was a waste of time. Honestly, I started only dropped my speed to 55 since it was such a pain in the ass to keep going down to 45 only to increase my speed back to 65 in a quarter of a mile.
After six and a half hours of driving we arrived at the Mountain Home, Idaho KOA and it was 104 degrees outside. We arrived at just after 3:30 PM. Wow, was it hot!
My first thought was ‘Cool! We can finally test the air conditioning!’. We have been using the heater in the mountains because the morning temperature has been in the mid thirties. We know that subsystem works. I have not had the opportunity to test the air conditioner.
Well, after running it for several hours, I have to say to works pretty well. It is plenty cool in here and it is stil quite warn outside. Unfortunately, the air conditional does not cycle it just runs constantly. It is also a little noisy inside but you can’t even here it outside. You can sure hear the other air conditioners running in the other RV’s though.
All in all, I think it works pretty good.
