Hey everyone is different. Some people like AC some don't. For some it is worth the extra cost while for others it is a waste of Money. The bottom line is this. If in the end it helps your quality of life, then that is all that is important.

As construction materials and techniques have improved, homes have started breathing less and less. I had a new roof but on the camp a few years ago. The first time that ice, and water shield and felt had been used ever on the camp. The previous owners had many layers of rolled roofing. But now with the new roof I have noticed that the heat loss through the roof is considerably less... (no attic)....The ice and water shield as well as the felt, with the shingles on top create much more of a tight blanket effect then the several layers of rolled roofing ever did. We have also tightened up the walls of the camp by adding insulation etc. The bottom line is, now when we leave the camp for a week, the heat actually builds inside. So when we get to the camp on Friday night it is Hot inside regardless of the outside temp..... sure after openning all the windows and turning on some fans it cools right down... but hey if I didn't want a bigger boat, putting in some AC, might have some appeal.....
