It is hot, so....

......what about solar screens. I plan to acquire external sun screens. What, if anything, have you done?

I put a Sunshade from Carefee of Colorado on my rear window ... makes a world of difference as far as reducing the heat transfer into the camper. It's easy to install and easy to use.

I did the same as dieselguy, I was lucky to get it from one of our members, he had an extra one. there are times when the sun hits it direct, and the heat will still blast through so I slide a reflective instalator between the window and the screen, the only down side is no view and it makes the RV darker but much cooler. I have solved the problem on the dinning slide by putting a awning over both windows 1 large one it did help on that side of the RV keeping the heat down.

Ditto, ditto...

We just had one put on the rear window before this trip. It has made a big difference in helping keep things cool

Stiles, we had solar screens on all windows of our previous Montana and they helped quite a bit. However, when we were in Oklahoma with over 100 degree weather we also slipped the thin blue insulation under the solar screens and they made a HUGE difference. It felt like we were in a fish bowl, but it really helped keep the temperature down. I would opt for window awnings next time for ease of use, except for the back window, then I would opt for a pull down screen.
