Exterior Color and Inside Temperature...
OK.... I need some help here.... about exterior color vs temperature inside.
I will be 3/4 timing to start with so I will be living in my B most of the time.
My intention is to follow the seasons so I will not be in any long term weather extremes.
When it gets too hot..... or too cold..... then I am leaving. If I can't have the windows open for good cross ventilation then... it's time to move on and change locations.
SO... that said..... my question is about exterior color. I have had vehicles in mostly all the colors over the years.... but none that I was planning to actually live in.
Since I am not planning on having air conditioning put in or some kind of heating other than a small ceramic heater or small oil filled plug in heater..... I am not sure which colors would be best to consider for the exterior.
I have been leaning towards white because its generally so cool to the touch but.... I really don't like it. I wish I could have a real color like yellow or that nice caribou brown that comes on the ford transit vans.
but.... they are hot to the touch on a warm day which unlike the
white that is much cooler.
Does anyone here have a dark colored van and if so..... how is it in the various temperatures you travel in.
I have this vision in my head that I will utterly ROAST in a van any other color than white if I hit a hot snap of weather.... wherever I am.
Is this an unfounded fear ? OR.... will exterior color make that much difference with windows open and air moving thru ?
I would love to hear what you have to say.
Thanks so much.
