eight years in theory, a newby in practice!!!
One of the reasons we're looking to buy a van is so that we can get up and go when it suits us and take our wee dog with us. We were at a dealer yesterday looking around some vans and were struck by how hot it was in a few of them in the bright sunshine.
This concerns us as we will at some point have to leave the dog in the van for an hour or so.
I know that you can draw curtains or blinds on the windows but what about the roof lights, do they have blinds to keep out the light/heat?
Leaving windows open slightly isn't always a good idea. How hot can it get in a van?:hot:

I have been caravanning for 32 years but in 2014 I have"gone over to the dark side"
To be honest it wasn't the answer that I was looking for:( I really did think that keeping out the sunlight would keep the van cooler:doh:

In hot weather we open windows, close blinds on sunny side of van, open roof lights & close roof light blinds except for last couple of inches leaving room for hot air to get out but stopping most of the direct sunlight getting in! - works for us :)
