4132 miles and 100+ degree heat
My wife, daughter and I just finished our trip from San Antonio out to Anaheim, Sequoia National Park, Grand Canyon, Old Town Scottsdale and the Saguaro National Park.
Our 2017 28BHBE trailer held up like a champ. We had no issues or concerns during the trip with the trailer. (Note: we did discover a stress crack in the upper portion of the porcelain toilet prior to our departure but did not affect the use since it was well above the water line)
From El Paso all the way to Anaheim and up to Sequoia we had temps from 100 to 105 degree temps while traveling. On our way to the Grand Canyon from Sequoia we stopped over in Needles, CA for the night and the temp was a staggering 125 degrees. Lucky for us we opted for the second AC in our 2017 28BHBE. After we left the Grand Canyon the temps pretty much stayed 100 degrees + all the way back to San Antonio.
During the drive in the extreme heat and up quite a few long steady grades I got concerned about my oil temp. The tranny and coolant temps were fine but my oil temp was up to 242 degrees at one point. I did consult with a Ford service tech about this and they said it was fine and oil temps as high as 250 degrees are okay-but keep note that the oil life is reduced.
Overall it was a great 16 day trip.
