Once again, we used our Winnebago Travato camper van as a heat/humidity escape pod from DFW. Our plan was a 5-week route through NM and CO to escape some of the summer heat. We departed on Monday, July 8th and returned home on Saturday, August 10th. Obviously, we didn’t stay long enough, because it was still hot and humid on our return home - but at least we had a nice break.
