Heat related Question

We store our cougar uncovered in our driveway and have been experiencing triple digit heat with many more days of 103+ temps. forecasted. The 5er has been treated with a liberal coat of 303. My concern is the build-up of internal heat. We plan on setting the a/c at 80-85 and just let it run. Thinking it will save us $$$ in the long run? Don't want all of the glued on counter moldings, etc. to come loose. Any comments/input would be appreciated. Covered storage is in the future - just not this summer.

Who know how long it sat in the sun before you took ownership. Automakers and RV amkers have really spent a bunch of time with their vendors to make sure things stick and don't shrink or swell.

Thanks for the reply - I'm probably worrying for no reason. It's just that, even with 2 roof vents open and all of the shades drawn, the inside temp can get up there. Hopefully our weather will cool in another month. Time to head for the coast

Our TT has been in the storage yard with temps in the low 100's and high 90's. We been out to it several times. We have the roof vents open and the shades drawn. It is definitely cooler inside than outside. I really wouldn't worry.
