Re: Black Top Reply #1 – October 01, 2017, 06:43:54 pm The black surface is 40- 60 degrees hotter than white. I do a science project with my wife's second grade every year . WE walk around the school yard and parking lot with one of my IR guns. I have a white van and the hood on my race cars are white . Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Black Top Reply #3 – October 01, 2017, 07:00:58 pm Our white side of painted coach was more than 80 degrees cooler than a black stripe on the side. Ambient temp was comfortable enough, about 80 as I Recall Quote Selected
Re: Black Top Reply #4 – October 01, 2017, 07:04:11 pm He does have a 34 ft coach which is a lot less area to to cool, compared with a 36 or 40 footer. There is a reason the dark painted 45 ft coaches have 4 roof airs. Quote Selected

Re: Black Top Reply #8 – October 02, 2017, 02:49:11 pm Quotedid you install a residential?Nope. I had intended to when I got this rig but it needed other work that took precedence. The original Norcold is still going strong and I have the ARP device to keep us from getting killed. I think when it fails I will probably replace it with another absorption as we like to dry camp more than RV park camp. In my photo above, the plastic frig vent is missing as I hadn't installed it yet. The old one had a couple little cracks so I bought a new one. I'm betting that's what you noticed!jor Quote Selected 1 Likes
