RE: Stopping The Sun Well, not really, it might get a little cold around here. But for minimizing interior heating of the van while parked in direct Sun Jonce is on the right track. You have to stop the sunlight before it gets into the van. I used to camp for a full week in one place at high elevation and in the July Sun. The only thing I found effective was placed on the outside of all the windows. I made covers of Reflectix for all the windows. But the really big difference I was able to make was when I made a reflective shield for the pop-top. Although none of this kept the air inside from reaching or exceeding the outside air temp the van was not nearly as heated up going into the night, it would cooled down much faster. YMMV
