It helps if you reduce the cooling area inside the coach. Leave the slides in. On our Vegas 24.1 we also use reflectix to block heat from coming in through the the front windshield. To further reduce the cooling area we hang thick blankets from the overhead bunk to completely block out the front cab area further preventing heat from coming in from the front. Other steps include stuffing the foil insulated vent pillows into the ceiling vents. Refliectix in the sun facing windows will also help.
