I have dark tinted windows on our Sandpiper 5th wheel, but the sun and heat still do a job and the a/c's seem to run overtime compared to our stay put home. Right now I have redneck curtains on the windows (foil and that foil covered styrofoam insulation) The styrofoam stuff is in the large back window and some of the skylights. If I ever order another trailer, it will not have skylights.
What do you all use to keep the heat out of your camper trailer?
Also, the very back bedroom does not get as much air as the other areas so we bought a portable a/c unit and wallah, comfort. That means 3 a/c's running. waiting to see the electricity bill. We will only be there a few days out of the month because hubs works 14/14 and we have cattle and it's hay season as well.
if you are referring to a sandpiper 365saq the very back bedroom vent in the ceiling needs to be pulled off the ceiling.Then put a piece of cardboard up there and some silver duct tape because its the last vent in the duct and forestriver decided not to stop the ductwork.Instead it goes past the last vent and cools the entire ceiling void.I fixed mine and the airflow easily doubled and now the kids complain of being too cold.Even if its not the model I referred to pull the last vent and look.
