I put up the reflective accordion panel, and drop the front shade behind it to hold it in place. These shades are available at any RV store. The Vegas is quite well insulated, so the 15,000 btu unit works well. We also have an oscillating stick fan that circulates the air and helps maintain an even cool temperature inside the coach. When we travel, I hang a blanket from the front overhead bunk down to the floor behind the driver and passenger seat. This keeps the front cabin much cooler, as the dash air cannot cool the entire coach. You could also run the generator and roof air while driving. I did install a dashmat that does help keep the coach cooler and much quieter when driving. it is surprising how a dashmat can quiet the coach from engine and road noise.

Can you share what dashmat you purchased? Thanks
