You may want to try to put some insulation in the windows to help keep the heat out.

RayniDaze said:We currently rent a lot at an RV park where the rate for electricity is .15 per kwh. Normally our bill is between 50 and 60 and I expected it to go up a little with us living in Texas and it becoming summertime. But our bill has gone up to 130. We checked the meter on June 1 and it was at 1890 and now today 2.5 days later it's at 2235. Which puts us at a 52 dollar bill 3 days in. If it keeps going at this rate our bill will be over 500 dollars!!!!!
I sure have.Alaskansnowbirds said:I've never seen an electric meter that would read a tenth of a KW. So I think the OP is correct in their figures.
The arithmetic simply does not add up. 345 kwh over 2-1/2 days is 138 kwh/day. As Gary pointed out, the most electricity that could flow through that 30-amp receptacle, pulling 30 amps constantly over 24 hours, is 86 kwh. But the OP is reporting vastly more than that, and says the air conditioner, never mind everything else, doesn't run constantly. Something is off.Alaskansnowbirds said:I've never seen an electric meter that would read a tenth of a KW. So I think the OP is correct in their figures.
But my last class A was not in the shade, it was and still is in full sunshine (my nephew owns it a block from here) and his bill is less than mine.Gary RV_Wizard said:Yeah, Tom, but your rig is in really nice shade and that helps tremendously.

Why would I want to do that?Try sitting in full sun with 106.
