Infrared light won’t exit your RV through the windshield! So, your RV gets hotter in Summer, unless you block the sunlight with a windshield cover.
In Winter, a windshield cover will insulate the RV like putting a blanket on the windshield .
I have used my windshield cover for a decade and love its thermal properties.
I'm going to do this before next summer. On my 30 Amp MH with only one 15000 AC, the heat here is hard to combat. I'm going to try the windshield and side glass covers before I go into the problem of adding a second AC.
