So we have had our pop top for just on 2 years now and have used it prob 6 times. We have just returned from up the murray where the weather was very hot - hitting 40 deg one day. Being a pop top we don't have air con. We purchased a portable evap cooler but as I was sweltering in the van the other day I was wondering in regards to the flaps that can be opened or shut - what is best in heat?
Do others leave all flaps opened or do you close in the direction that the sun is coming in - does that help with the heat?
any tips appreciated.
cheers!

This is not exactly an ebay problem.....you will probably get more answers if you ask on Community Spirit.

Because the poptop curtain is thinner & not insulated like the body it will always allow more heat transfer into the van. I keep the flap facing west closed, & the other 3 open all the time. You'll never stop the heat boring through the curtain unless it's the one on the side of the awning/annex, & only then if those attach to the roof. It's also the complete opposite in winter. The curtain won't keep the cold out as well as a full height van.
