New Colored Truck Camper

After purchasing a Camplite 10', which was charcoal grey with an aluminum roof, we found that the darker color was not a blessing when we were in a campsite in direct sunlight. Aluminum skin and frame conducted the heat in, more than the AC could handle. 3 coats of State-cool on the roof, a 10' awning, putting silver wrap, about 60 sq.ft. of the back wall, and changing the internal thermostat minimum on adjuster (the thermostat for the knob thermostat) allowed our AC to stay on longer. I think that a lot of AC manufacturers can say that their products are more energy efficient by having them on for a shorter time. We do like the dark color, but learned the side effects in a hurry, but you can manage.
