Gadget if A/C stops working

[doglover116]

I am relatively new to RV'ing. I have a Coachman Freelander 21QB so as you can see, it is not very large. I plan on traveling with 2 dogs and possibly a cat. My concern is the A/C not working and not knowing. Do you know of any gizmo that we can hook up somewhere on the RV which would notify us by cell phone if the A/C fails. Appreciate any feedback you all may have.

No first hand experience, I just googled . . . maybe something like this:

Temperature Sensor, Wireless, Skylink TS101A

and

Cell Link Adapter - Cellular Bluetooth Wireless Gateway with Standard Telephone Line Input

I installed a auto generator start from Onan EC-30W and use the 2 fantastic fans set 5 deg higher than the auto start temperature setting as a backup.

I have noticed that my class c MH does not get any warmer than the outside temperature if I close the shades on the south and west sides and open the skylight vents. They are not like cars that quickly heat up if in the sun.. I suppose that is due to the windows being perpendicular to the ground instead slanted to catch the sun's rays and the cab-over shaded windshield.

I only worry about the pets left inside when outdoor temps get above 90. And I try to stay where the climate is milder. I'm now a fair weather friend. I plan my travels around the seasons so I can avoid climate extremes whenever possible. Such is the joy of retirement

Also, if you do use your generator for heating/cooling while away, make sure you have plenty of fuel. My gennie will shut down when the gas tank is less than 1/4 full.
