I have painted the skylight in the shower so that virtually no light gets in, thus eliminating it's greenhouse effect. I first painted it with a dark brown to block light penetration and then covered that in white paint to reflect the light and heat.
When it's really hot I keep the slide outs closed, thus reducing the space that needs to be cooled by the A/C.

That's an idea I had not thought of, keeping the slides closed or closing them when you leave to reduce the space that needs to be cooled. In the Axis, you can close the pocket door from the bathroom and redirect all the cooling into the front of the RV. If you do that and leave the slide in, you have a very small amount of space to cool. Cool.
