I might have mentioned this before, I use one of those fabric backed
silvered mylar "space blankets" to shade the fridge area of van. I
use magnets to hold the blanket in place, can even guy the bottom
corners out if I want.

It also covers the sliding window, it really does keep the van
cooler, no data to support this.
