Ardmore is a Limestone County town on the Tennessee border, with Ardmore, Tennessee on the other side. Wikipedia calls it the northernmost settlement in Alabama and says Main Street is the state line. Interstate 65 passes just west of town and connects Nashville and Birmingham.[2]
The town grew up around a Louisville and Nashville Railroad line built through the area in 1912. The stop was first called Austin, after the railroad official who chose it, and the railroad later renamed it for a Pennsylvania town. Each August the Greater Ardmore Chamber holds a Crape Myrtle Festival with plants, vendors and food trucks.[3,4]

General information. Every situation is different, so call us about yours.
Hot, humid afternoons make a roof air conditioner work hard, and some cooling loss is normal when the sun is on the roof. A unit that never catches up can still have a dirty filter, a weak capacitor, low refrigerant or restricted airflow. It depends on the model and the conditions, so the first step is working out which of those applies before anyone replaces a part.
Interstate 65 passes just west of Ardmore, and Ardmore is on our service list. Roof air conditioners, refrigerators and water systems are common places for trouble to show up on a trip. Because our base is in Thorsby, about 153 road miles from Ardmore, please call 205-955-3054 to talk through what is possible before you count on a visit, and give us the exact address of where the RV is parked.[2,1]
Summer thunderstorms, and the rain from an occasional tropical system, can find weak spots around vents, skylights, the air conditioner housing and the roof edges. Cracked or lifting sealant is a common culprit, though water can travel and show up far from where it got in. A look at the roof before the next wet stretch is cheaper than repairing a soaked wall or floor.
It depends on what you run. Add up lights, a fan, the water pump and any device you charge, then size the battery bank and panels around that total. Shade from trees can cut panel output, so the spot you park in matters too. We can go through your loads and your wiring before you buy anything, so the setup fits how you actually camp.
