Park it more carefully and use the ventilation, our has 2 magic vents and 2 hab a/c's one of which will run off inverter for lots of hours.

We had one on our Flair but never used it as we like to see out, used the internal blind all the time when we are out though and the insulated aluminium ones are quite effective.

I got one of these from Hymer. It is made of a plastic/rubber mesh which lets light in but the heat out. You can also see out through it.

It does not make the front of the motorhome look dark and you can leave it on.

Did you not have a metal pull-down screen in the Flair like our 2003 Arto?
I have indeed,but thought I may need more as screen so big,have not used it yet,so thus summer my first experience in it,can’t wait,as had a converted sprinter van before this and bed a disaster ,

We've got internal pleated screens our A-class greenhouse front window, which are ok most of the time. Last summer I just stuffed one of the cheap car foil backed screens between the blind and the screen for some extra protection and it did feel cooler.
