We carry the material shown above all the time with us - just in case - for extremely cool or hot temperatures. We have it all pre-cut for the windows and store it rolled up and tucked away high in the back of a cabinet.
We toured the Deep South in the U.S. a few years ago in July and August (never again). We didn't have to use the material because most of our camping was in the shade - but what we wish we would have had along was a dehumidifier. The toughest time we had was one night when the outside temps were only in the low 80's, but humidity was as high as possible without it actually raining. We ran the A/C non-stop to remove enough moisture .... but to keep from freezing because the outside temperatures werent' that high, we at the same time ran an electric heater. We balanced the settings just right between the two so the that the interior was maintained at a dry 72 degrees.
I might add however, that in those conditions in that part of the country at that time, we had all the sights and attractions pretty much to ourselves!
