One of the local Jeep dealers did a test with a white Jeep Wrangler and a black Jeep Wrangler. The temperature during the summer averaged 2 degrees hotter in the black Jeep.
I have to call BS on that having owned 3 black pickups in the past. Even my current lipstick red truck gets noticeably hotter in summer sun in a big way, than the white or silver ones I have owned.

You can call BS all you want. I am just telling you what the Jeep dealer said. My wife has a black 2014 Wrangler and before that had a black Dodge Durango. I drive a Blue Wrangler and also have a tan Dodge Ram pickup. All 4 get/got hot in Florida. I never noticed the black vehicle being any hotter than the other vehicles. They all get hot as **** here in the Florida sun. I just wouldn't let the black color keep one from buying a RV or vehicle. A few minutes with the AC on they all cool down. I think with a RV, the more important thing is the windows and the insulation, not so much the color.
