Do you folks who put foam in your vents have vent covers up on the roof over the crank-up vent lids?
We do, and the effect is to put a layer of insulating air between the vent cover and the crank-up vent lid. Our crank-up vent lids don't feel hot at all because of this air space above each crank-up vent lid. The vent covers up above the lids directly absorb all of the sun's heat, but the crank-up vent lids themselves stay at about the temperature of the RV's interior air. We feel no extreme heat coming from the vent areas when camped in the direct sun, so no need to put foam in the vent ... plus the foam darkens the interior.
Of course there are other advantages to having vent covers ... and we know due to some bad experiences before I installed the covers.
