Lots of helpful info on dealing with the heat and recognizing if someone is suffering a heat related illness: www.maricopa.gov/1871/Extreme-HeatReally hope we do not have to stand in line too long to get into arena. Should have gone VIP with early entry.

@nymag: Presenting the most iconic moments in #PLL history nym.ag/2syS2leAdam Lambert Leads Rosewood High in a Halloween Sing-along (season 3, episode 13) youtu.be/CAGLXe5WuO4Is there any logical explanation for Rosewood High, a public school, shelling out this kind of money for an ex–American Idol contestant dressed as a debonair vampire? No. Does it still go down in the books for being the best musical moment in the show? Absolutely.

The trailers are not refrigerated nor do they need to be. Rewatch the video of the TTs from yesterday. Refridge units have the unit at the front (between trailer and tractor), these don't have that. The tractor of course has A/C for the drivers. I actually did watch the truck instagram several times trying to see if A/C units are somewhere around the trailers, but did not see anything... I know nothing about trucks so decided to ask here ...Is there a difference between refrigiration (which is NOT needed in this case) and A/C or some form of cooling inside the metal trailers? Cooling is definitely needed in transporting electronic equipment in those extremely high temps... I even checked the Truck-n-Roll site but found nothing... Having said all that - I am absolutely sure the tour is managed by very experienced pros and I have no worries AT ALL. Just curious I guess...like why not to learn about tractor/trailers while we are at it... learned about so many things here, including bull semen I would suspect these trailers are custom built with extra insulation to accommodate both extreme heat and cold. Additionally, the electronics themselves will be packaged for transport adding additional insulation. Also, remember they travel mainly late at night to early the next day, so at less heat stress times. As to difference between A/C and refrigerated, basically just a difference in language based on intended usage of the euquipment to denote the lower temperature capabilities needed for full refrigeration versus comfort cooling.

The tractor of course has A/C for the drivers. Doesn't Nica mean the cab where the drivers are? That's what i thought. Isn't "refrigerated" very different from air conditioned? By about 40 degrees?! Anyway, this is an experienced specialized company. I am sure they have encountered desert heat many times. Not sure what Nica meant, but refrigeration is a specific kind of air conditioning -- and what most people in the US have in their homes. There are two common kinds of cooling systems -- refrigeration and evaporation cooling. In the US most homes and vehicles use refrigeration, but many office buildings and large homes use evaporative cooling towers. In Arizona many homes have evap. cooling -- some small units called "swamp coolers" and large units with cooling towers for very large homes. I had a home near Phoenix that had a cooling tower -- over 6,000 sq. ft. cooled for only about $180 a month vs. a couple of thousand a month with refrigeration. It required professional maintenance but was great. We also had a heavily insulated white roof, 4' to 8' covered patios all around and many other design features to minimize cooling costs.

Moving gear and setting up/running doing audio visual for concerts/events is what I do all over the world. The equipment is fine in a truck traveling all over the US(regardless of weather), on a ship to Hawaii in a container or flying overseas. Unless there is fire (that would have to be massive) or some other kind of catastrophe it's all good.

wow that's going to be HOT on Friday! Go laugh at our 88 degrees here in Germany lol...I recommend a hat, vitamin C and Zink to face the heat...
I sunstroke easily, like REALY easily, whithin 10-15 minutes sometimes, that's why I always wear a hat which makes a WORLD of difference...I can stay outside in the sun for hours with something on my head...also I remember when we were in Italy in the sommer of 2003 my aunt "doped" us with vitamin C and Zink...

Nice explanation graciejane. The extra insulation and night travel would help. And Nica, I think it's a fair question. For those of us who work with computers we are always told to keep them cool right? I would add that it's probably operating temperature for electronics that would be worrisome but not when they are turned off and stored.

Are there some things that shouldn't be stored in the same truck as the electronic gear. My dad's always having me remove his aerosol bear spray cans out of his truck and camper during the hot summer so they don't expand with the heat and leak. So other than layout, ie having items and trucks numbered so that each lot gets in for the build at the right time are there items that should or should not travel together?
