Don't understand why that is part of the problem though as the slide is seldom moved. We are mostly stationary for the next year or so.

Thanks for the reassurances though......
Slide is part of the problem because of heat venting. If not in a slide, heat vents straight up, and out through a vent on the roof itself. On a slide, heat does not go straight up and out thru the roof, it starts out going up, but then vents thru the top vent on the side of the trailer via 90 degree turn aided by fans and baffles. I added an AC fan at the bottom vent, pointed straight up, to help push the heat out.
