Hello and greetings.

I never really paid much attention but recently I discovered just how hot our tinted back windows get from the sun. Even on moderate days, the inside of the coach heats up rather quickly once the sun hits those windows, especially if they are closed and there's little ventilation. This is fine on cooler days, but on warm and humid summer days it makes the inside of the coach heat up pretty good, despite its foam insulation on the outer panels. Closing the curtains helps a little, but the heat still gets through pretty easily.

Has anybody found effective ways to deal with the window heat? I'd rather avoid doing something drastic like window tinting, etc. I've started looking for ideas, but curious if there are some good options out there that would help, that are simple.

As always, thank you for the feedback.

Chris
