One of my paint upgrades (?) was to paint a black band around the entire
coach that included the windows. On a '73-23' Glacier GMC this includes the
area behind the refer.

The only way I could make the refer cool at all was: 1. Park with that side
away from the sun, 2. Take a piece of reflective solar blanket and tape it
to the outside of the coach.

Sorry, I don't care what your fancy paint line looks like but the roof needs
to be white. No matter what/how many AC's you have or the power to them.

Dean,

I agree.

My Glacier has a blue roof (along with the rest of the coach. She isn't in the barn yet because I am late getting ready for winter, but it did finally close the roof vent just before the snow fell on it. I want to roof to get a coat of white someday.

Well Larry,
It is white right now, but as soon as it turns blue again, she'll be back in the barn. The barn is heated and I don't want to deal with the water if I melt it all in the barn.
