Hello, Cedarlane RV Resort campers!

As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, we eagerly anticipate the sunny, adventure-filled days that summer brings. At Cedarlane RV Resort, we want to ensure that your summer camping experience is both enjoyable and comfortable, even during the hottest days. Here are some handy tips to help you beat the heat and make the most of your time at our beautiful resort.

1. Embrace the Shade

One of the simplest ways to stay cool is to set up your campsite in a shady spot. Our resort has plenty of trees and shaded areas perfect for keeping your RV and campsite cool. Consider using tarps or canopies to extend your shaded area and create a relaxing outdoor space.

2. Optimize Your RV's Cooling System

Ensure your RV's air conditioning system is in top shape before the heatwave hits. Clean or replace filters regularly and check for any maintenance issues. Additionally, using reflective window coverings can help keep the interior of your RV cool by blocking out the sun's intense rays.

3. Stay Hydrated

Always have plenty of water on hand. Staying hydrated is crucial in hot weather. Consider keeping a cooler filled with ice and water bottles so you can grab a refreshing drink whenever you need it. Infusing your water with fruits like lemon or cucumber can make hydration more enjoyable.

4. Dress for the Weather

Lightweight, breathable clothing is your best friend during hot summer days. Opt for light-colored fabrics that reflect, rather than absorb, the sun's rays. Hats and sunglasses are also essential for protecting yourself from UV exposure.

5. Plan Activities Wisely

Try to schedule more strenuous activities, such as hiking or biking, during the cooler parts of the day—early morning or late evening. Use the midday hours to relax in the shade or take a dip in our resort pools to cool off.

6. Use Your Appliances Mindfully

To help conserve electricity and avoid overloading the grid, consider the following tips:

• Switch to Propane: If your RV has a propane option for the hot water heater, use it. Propane is an efficient alternative that can help reduce the electric load.

• Time Your Appliance Use: Avoid using high-energy appliances like hairdryers, microwaves, and other heavy-duty devices during peak hours. This practice helps to conserve energy and ensures that everyone can enjoy a comfortable stay without power interruptions.

7. Enjoy a Cool Treat

Take advantage of the summer weather to enjoy cold treats. Whether it's ice cream, popsicles, or a refreshing fruit salad, these snacks can help lower your body temperature and provide a delightful way to beat the heat.

8. Create a Cross Breeze

If you don’t have air conditioning or want to reduce its use, open windows on opposite sides of your RV to create a cross breeze. Using fans strategically can also enhance this effect and keep the air circulating throughout your space.

9. Nighttime Cooling

Open windows and vents in the evening to let in the cooler night air, and close them in the morning to trap the coolness inside. This simple trick can help maintain a more comfortable temperature in your RV during the day.

10. Enjoy Water Activities

Take advantage of our resort’s proximity to lakes or pools. Spending time in the water is a fun and effective way to cool down and make the most of the summer sun.

We hope these tips help you stay cool and comfortable during your stay at Cedarlane RV Resort. Summer is a wonderful time to enjoy the great outdoors, and with a little planning, you can make it a season to remember.

Happy camping!
