somewhere, it had to be here, that I heard about these silver sheets you put on top of the slide outs to reduce the heat.
this lead to a link that had a picture of a pop up aerial view, like from an upstairs window.
what do you call these things?
i cannot find the thread here..
I don't know where to get them.....
Stella,
They are called Popupgizmos. Click here (//%22http://www.popupgizmos.com/%22) and it will take you to the web site.
Take care.

that's close. it wasn't a company that was selling them, it seemed like a sheet of silver something that you clip on the top. cheaper.
i think.
Stella,
Then you are interested in the sportman space blankets (http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0006243510214a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntt=space+blankets&Ntk=Products&sort=all&_D%3AhasJS=+&N=0&_D%3Asort=+&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1) . Most folks get them from Cabelas. What ever you do please don't buy the cheap $4.99 version.
I built my own covers. Here is a photo-gallery with the process (http://he-ruide.smugmug.com/gallery/3488041_L7njs#196462731_dPtv4). Note you do not need to have the Velcro across the whole width of the roof.
Hope this helps.
