If you have a choice of sites, choose one that offers the most shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cook outside<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your RV cool by keeping your RV\u2019s stove and oven off. Stick to grilling outside or making use of your outdoor kitchen or portable camp stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Install roof vent covers&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your roof vents open when there is a breeze can help to keep things cool. Installing a roof vent cover will help to direct breezes in and reduce heat build-up, while keeping rain out on those drizzly, muggy days.

During the day, be sure to choose a shaded window.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keep your shades closed<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the sun from warming up your RV by keeping your shades completely closed. Black-out curtains and shades work best for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Catch the evening breeze<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep windows open through the night, bringing in as much cool air as possible. Shut them in the morning and pull down the shades when the sun rises, keeping the cool air in for as long as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keep that door shut<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve found a way to keep your RV cool, now it\u2019s time to keep it that way! To avoid going in and out as much as possible, try packing a cooler with ice, drinks and snacks to keep outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get that AC going<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got AC and the necessary hookups, draw the shades, close the windows, and get that cool air going!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you stay cool while camping?
