Back in the '90s, an employee at the Nissan dealer in Augusta, GA, tried an experiment on a nice, hot, sunny southern summer day. He took some test thermometers from the HVAC tech. He placed them in otherwise identical trucks - but one was white and one was black. There was a 40 degree difference in the interior temps between the two trucks.

Totally believe it. Solar ovens are black. Black metal gets very hot outside on a sunny day. With glass, a black RV with insulation is essentially a poorly designed solar oven. Of course after driving it with A/C it gets much better, but still, I totally believe they are hotter. But let's talk about winter time now. :)
