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 ...

Great idea to test out yellow vs. white.
I don't have AC, and that works fine for me, following the seasons.
My van gets hot soon after sunrise, if the east facing windows are not in shade. Hot enough to kick me out of the van in the middle of winter. A couple hours later, when the sun is on the roof, it's much cooler. I have not added insulation to the roof, but the stock setup is about an inch of airspace plus half inch of headliner.
Another consideration: In the warm areas you will be wintering in, almost all vehicles are white. Schoolbus yellow would make your rig stand out, be VERY eye-catching. If you think you might ever want to park overnight in an urban area (store parking lot, park, side street, etc.) you might want to blend in more.
