all depends on what you want to tolerate! I worked in Bullhead City for 5 years, working on my helicopter outside. one engine change it was 125 degrees during the day and down to 115 at night. went for 26 hours strait to get it done.

Evening all.. Well i am hoping that acclimation wont be too rough then! LOL! I do alright in the heat, just have to drink lots of water!

Much nicer day today.. I think it was actually cooler! I spent all day outside messing the 4-wheel drive swap, and didnt suffer as bad as I did yesterday! Hope it sticks around for just a few more days!

Thank you guys for the heads up on that BTW!

Good Evening Arizona.
Bart your younger than I'm, but I know when I lived in Bullhead I had to install a power steering hose on our truck & I bought it the day before & got up just as it got light to put it on & it was still too hot to work in my opinion. You do get use to it after some time. I always felt that 60 degrees was good outside working temp.

I have seen 0ver 250 degrees in the cab of my truck with the windows down a couple inches.
we had to keep a 3 ton air conditioner on the helicopter to keep the circuit breakers from popping and the interior from melting.
you could talk about a $600 to $1,000 electric bill and it didn't faze anyone!

Good Evening Arizona.
Nice day in the high 60s with a breeze. A storm is suppose to be coming through Sunday through Tuesday. We will just have to see. I worked on the trailer today. Installed some carpet, started working on the slide out floor. It has a bow in it. I'm installing oak beams under the dinette benches. This was the suggestion of one of the RV techs on the Towing Board.
