On hot days you'll get a tremendous amount of heat radiating in through the windshield. There are two things we do to insulate ourselves.

1) We put a big panel of reflectix between the front shade and the windshield.

2) We lower the upper bunk slightly, tuck in blankets to cover from floor to ceiling, then raise the bunk again to hold the blankets in place.

This blocks off most of the heat to the front cab, allowing the A/C to cool down the rest of the rig

It also helps if you get the insulated pillows to stuff into the two ceiling fan vents and block any heat from coming from the roof.
