This is our trailer with the awning out and the shade attached. Normally when we are out west we don't need the awning. Usually very nice but not hot. This year in Casa Grande (located between Phoenix and Tucson) it has been hot. We are like anywhere else this year, it is warmer here than normal. This week it has been and will be until (I think) Saturday in the 80's. Today it was 84 here. Certainly not complaining at all. Very nice. But the patio was just too hot to sit outside without the awning and shade. Seems like the sun is hotter in Arizona than home. I guess that makes sense.
