Go to home depot or lowes, search for a roll 4ftx24ft insulation barrier. foil on both sides with bubble wrap in the middle. Don't care how you install it or hang it. But it would work better on the outside. This will keep the heat out, make rig dark and will allow the AC to work efficiency. We live outside of Apache Junction, base of the Superstition mountains and know too well about the heat. But this stuff really works. Summer = Outside, Winter = inside.
How would you guys recommend attaching the foil/bubble wrap insulation to the outside of the coach?
As long as you have external window covers, just slide it up under the cover - putting it on the outside of the window is 100% better then being on the inside - but it assumes that you have outside covers.
Regarding the dry heat versus humid heat question on AC efficiency, it seems to be that the humid heat is cooler than dry heat - 98F at 100% humidity (say TX or FL) versus 118F at 8% humidity (AZ, NV). The AC therefore doesn't need to work as hard to get the lower temperatures down.
Downside is that water runoff when it's humid makes a mess!
