We generally don't take our GMC out in the middle of summer, so the camping trip this week of 107-113F temps was an eye opener. While under way, there was no problem, but the route to the mountains required a couple of stop lights and there was the real problem. Chug, chug, and pretended to quit a time or two, then cleared out and kept on going. I made sure I had full tanks for help absorb some of the heat radiated off the roads and even switched tanks to the fuller one (if there really was a difference, it was probably all in my head).

I have an electric pump mounted, I just need to wait until a cooler set of days to plumb the lines. At least it didn't quit. With a "part-time" generator to run the roof air, it could have been a pretty bad scene.
