Howdy, Allen and Conny.

Having lived in southeast Florida and driven in that kind of heat and
humidity, I can certainly sympathize with y'all. You didn't write if you
were using the roof air conditioners while you were traveling. I ASSUME
that you were. We used to travel with just the dash air working. When we
stopped and parked, we would turn on the roof airs and it took HOURS to
cool that bedroom down. I learned to run all three roof airs while
traveling. That helped a lot. Hope that you will get more helpful
replies to your dilema.
