I've been full timing for over 2 years now and spent last winter near Phoenix (Goodyear). I left on 1 May to travel. It was already getting real hot.

Any insulation will help, foil or otherwise. I don't see how solar will help much as your major expense will be because of running AC 24 hours/day and you won't be doing that off battery power.

I did see RVs under freestanding carport shades that were being lived in. I would think this would help a lot, just keeping the sun off the rig.
