John had a good idea for someone whose trailer generates more heat than they want. There may be other ideas but you have to remember that you can't attach anything to the exterior of the slide or it will eventually "eat" one of your seals.

Yes am looking at second A/C now will see how that does then if needed upgrade the 15K that came installed on the unit as the primary. I am looking at the shades on tension rods so they may be rolled up and stored when not needed.
