This is not to support one side or the other. But I promised some stats on my Dometic 3-way on our trip from Phoenix to the White Mountains in Arizona and here they are.

Service history: No repairs. Flipped in 2017. LP lines blown out.

This is similar to what I see & expect 60~65 degrees cooling below ambient temperatures

No. It was very nice. Hiked the Indian Springs trail off of 249e. Only went as far as Spillman springs but then hiked up to the lookout tower. We drove up through Salt River Canyon to Showlow but then came back on the 87 out of Payson. Fire has really hit hard. Much of the east side of 87 badly burned. West side basically untouched. A real shame.
