Looking at HVAC options for an RV
I don’t want to be limited to only traveling in the spring or autumn when temperatures are cool and mild.
I would love to spend a good portion of my retirement time traveling the country and camping in as many state and national parks as possible. I haven’t been west of the Mississippi River and I want to change that. However, it’s not easy camping in a tent in every single region of this country, especially when there is extreme weather in winter and summer. I didn’t mind doing this so much when I was young, especially with my friends in my 20s. But as I’ve gotten older, I don’t respond as well to sleeping on the ground as I’ll wake up with terrible back and shoulder pain. While I still want to see campgrounds and walk through hiking trails at sunset, I’d much rather stay in an RV than sleep in a tent. You can have a little bit of everything you need in an RV, especially if you have one with a bathroom. However, they vary greatly in terms of what features are included in one model versus another. If I’m going to spend a large sum of money to get an RV, I want one with a good heating and cooling system. I don’t want to be limited to only traveling in the spring or autumn when temperatures are cool and mild. There are some particularly gorgeous locations in the northwest that are best explored in the summer season when temperatures are high and one is in need of a strong air conditioner. That’s why the RV definitely needs a good air conditioning system inside. Likewise, I also want an RV with a good heating system inside so I can stay comfortable if I’m traveling in the winter or during particularly cold spring or autumn weather.
