Hello Jeff, thanks for reaching out. The Active Controls ActiveStart Plug-In Soft Start for RVs # AS54FR is fine to use in hot summer temperatures. I know someone who has one in their camper and they used it last year here in Missouri during a heat wave where it was like over 100 degrees with high humidity and it worked just fine. Any temperature you encounter here on planet earth will be just fine lol.
