The only way I have found to keep the interior
temperature of my camper from substantially exceeding
the exterior temperature is to park in the shade. In
direct sunlight, the interior temperature will exceed
the exterior temp by 30-40F in less than 30 minutes. I
have a white pop top, window tint, windshield sun
blockers and thats reality for me here in Florida -
don't leave anything in the van that you don't want
cooked.

The air conditioning will cool off the interior at a
rate of 2-3F per minute. On a typical Orlando day, my
interior temps will be 125-135F so it takes 15-20
minutes to get them down under 80F.

On a day like today, 88F and partly cloudy, the
interior temps will level out around 100F, the
interior will cool in less than 10 minutes and you can
run the A/C on fan speed 2 at 1/3 temp setting.
