Shopping experience and a question...or 2

4 weeks in the southern states summer a year ago, and the hottest temp we hit was 100, in Houston.  Mid-July.

It felt exactly like Baltimore!  

We toured all the Gulf states and then all the states just above them, as far west as NM.  Glad I kept a high reserve of gas - at one point we didn't see a gas station or any other store for 2 1/2 hours in western TX.  I knew from prior experience to keep the tank above 1/2 once you cross the Mississippi.  So we were fine but there were several people on the side of the highway standing on the cab of their pickup trying to get a cell signal (which is obviously also a scarce resource out there).

We purchased our Rpod from a very reputable and reliable dealer in Salt Lake City. They always treated us like royalty. They told us that during peak summer season they had to change their policy and only work on units purchased from them. They feel it's not fair for their customers to have to wait weeks for service because they're too busy with repairs on trailers and motor homes purchased somewhere else, and we appreciated their logic. They work on all other campers from October to March.
