One of the neighbors on the west was a shiny new large Class C. I was grateful for his shade at first, but then when they packed up and left our rig actually cooled down. I didn't see it at the time, but the morning sun from the east was reflecting off their rig and heating us up. We were actually cooler after they left and a smaller rig replaced them. I never imagined that the glare from their clean rig would heat us up so much.
What happens is the wave length changes, just as in a radiant heater.
The light hits the object--and then reradiates as infrared (heat). Then it strikes an object--and warms it up.
