Clarkie,
I gather you are on the shady side of the Cascades where AC is not usually required. Even so, I would recommend getting the AC so that your camping locations are not limited. We originally had a tent trailer without AC when we lived in Las Vegas. My thought at that time was, "If we need to have AC, we might as well stay home." Camping at 7000+ feet proved to be a non-issue; however, when we went to camp at places like Zion NP that was a different story. After Las Vegas we spent 2 years in Virginia and NEVER went camping because it was too hot for us. Imagine that after 7 years in Las Vegas! After moving home to Washington State, we were certain that our new TM had to have AC. To sum up my ramblings here, even though you plan to stick to the PacNW at this time, your future camping options may be limited by not having AC.
