A/C in the house won't work if the power is out. been 7 days, 7 days and 6 days due to storms in the past.Have a seperate room that can run on generator. Has small A/C, coffee pot, microwave, fridge, and TV/DVD. It's OK for a couple days, but with 4 people, 2 dogs, it gets claustraphobic. Gen. can also run fridge in house a ceiling fans on covered patio.as far as truck unit, turned on at startup, moved to med fan about 9, full by 11. Keep filter clean, blow out condenser weekly, and try to enjoyqAC Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14871-mighty-hot-in-virginia/#findComment-59752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 "Has small A/C, coffee pot, microwave, fridge, and TV/DVD"Some people call this a "sleeper". I have a 36" that came off a R model sitting on the ground at my shop. It has a mud flap swinging in the crawl through hole and a window unit in the end. When it's above 95, you drive up to the gate and my German Shepherd sticks his head out, looks to see who it is, and then pulls back inside and goes back to his nap.

There is no AC in "Killer B", I keep a big cooler in passenger floorboard with bottled water iced down. I moved 4 pieces of equipment with it yesterday, temp was 101, I think it was about 130 in cab,,,heh heh,,I ran out of bottled water and started drinking the melted ice water in cooler, kinda rank, but wet.

rhasler Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hot here again today. Took out some steaks for dinnerWas all ready to cook them on the grillDecided it was too hot to cook on the grill, but I remembered hearing about a guy walking barefoot on the pavement with this resultSo I decided to throw the steaks on the pavement and see if they would cook. I think they were out there a little too long Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

other dog Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 My brother used to fill plastic bottles with water and freeze them. When he was in the field on a tractor all day he'd have cold water as they melted. A 2 liter bottle or 2 will last a long time...just a thought.
