Darker exterior color cause higher temps inside?

If you wonder about that, take a look at newer schoolbuses they may be yellow on the sides, but the tops are all white.

With many rigs these days having dark colors (especially black) on the upper 1/3 to 1/2 of the rig I was wondering if people with such a color scheme are noticing increased temperatures inside their rigs on hot sunny days?

The dark color scheme on my "House" was my wife's choice...

And yes it sure soaks up the sun on a sunny day

Also lets more heat out at night.

I had to "Upgrade" my two 13,500 BTU roof mounted air conditioners to 15,000

My last coach had a lot of black, gold and champagne and wasn't any hotter than my present coach with light colors beige, silver and champagne. My first class A was white and seemed cooler in direct sun but I think all painted coaches get equally hot in direct sun light.

Well, I've never seen a dark 30A coach with one AC. I can tell you ours struggles to keep up on a hot day and it's white, can't imagine if it were black.
