Paula finds the radiant heat from the sun way too much when sitting up front. I'm guessing all that glass with little tint in it is the issue. Our dash AC works well and it helps to have the house air running off the genny too.

Has anyone tried a band of tint along the top of the windshields? Does the big sunvisor help (although I was hoping not to spend too much on the problem.

Would tinting the sides at the front help?

If she pulls the curtain along to block the sun then she is good, but that's not a great solution when driving!
