You weren't camping where I was for 2 weeks in 2012 at 8000 ft elevation in southwest CO with 85+ temperatures every day.   Maybe you can deal with no A/C at 85+, but I choose not to when possibleConfused


I see it was a high of some +80F degrees, but still down around 60F at night.. yes I can deal with that.

Uncle Sam sent me places where the LOW was above 95F for weeks at a time. I didn't like it. I was raised in a pretty arid area where daily 50F degree swings are the norm for a fair part of the year. Way different to me than someplace that is always hot, or, Uncle Sam also sent me somewhere that's always freeking cold too..  Ouch

I think people are wondering because the way your post sounded, it was +80F the whole time, which, even if you don't believe so, is rare at +8000ft. My hate on that is when it's over 70F when I am trying to sleep.. that's why we have a TT. Smile

So back on topic, was the wire secured, or were you able to pull a new run. and since I was in the pod last night getting ready to go this morning, I checked, our a/c run is also 12g.

It actually hit 90 on two days we were there in Jun 2012, at  8705 ft elevation!  
Surprised me as we were dealing with 4wd trails still snow blocked literally 2 miles away.
We were at USFS Haviland Lake CG.   Very unusual to me for the USFS as it had electric and water hookups at most sites-  I almost never see that in the southeast,  if I ever have! 
Very dry and dusty though, not helped by some of the "hosts" zooming around in golf carts far exceeding the posted speed limit and stirring up huge dust cloudsAngry
 
Haven't had a chance to pull on the wire yet, have to dig out a gigantic silicone glob where they sealed it coming into the A/C opening to connect it to the control box.  Also have to look under the shower area to see if that is where the wire ran leaving the convertor/breaker box.   Probably won't get back on that project for awhile as we head out for almost a week..
