Yes, I agree with this observation.  I remember trips in the past where
temps were in the 95 to 100 degree range and we'd completely open the van up
and try to sleep under a sheet.  Our kids (about 10 and 12 then) dubbed the
place "devils breath," but there was little air movement.

I also remember arriving at camp spots around 8 or 9 and removing the engine
lid to speed cooling it off before trying to sleep in the van.  Didn't work
all that well as I recall.

This is in the west though where the humidity is not terrible.  I simply
would not go "camping" in the summer humidity in some parts of the US.
