It's amazing how much difference it makes to have a constant breeze playing over your exposed body while sleeping. I installed an inverter behind my breaker panel that automatically powers up the outlets next to the bed, plus a couple of others when not plugged in. Did it mainly for my CPAP, but it works well for fans as well.

For example a trip to Durango over the new Mazatlan-Durango highway had to be cancelled for the copper Canyon group due to a tanker truck caught fire on a bridge. The heat was so intense it burned right through asphalt, concrete and damaged the superstucture. Its closed until August. They hope to have 2 lanes open on it for Easter. 4 years ago it got blocked by snow for 4 days. In Mexico, expect the unexpected. Wagon Masters like Kevin & Ruth are skilled at improvisation.
