St vrain

The perfect RV spot is not just one place. It depends on the season. It’s all about exposure of the windshield to the sun. It’s about solar gain. We have those screens we can put on the front to cut down on the amount of sun that comes in, but it’s nice not to use them and keep a clear view out during the day. So in the summer, to minimize heat inside the coach, it’s best to be oriented straight north; let the sun shine on the rear of the coach; let the inside stay cool. In the winter, we like to point east; open up the drapes to soak up the heat from the morning sun to warm up the inside.
