Thanks for the input guys much appreciatedLiner and topper for roof as mentioned above. Also the Brandrup Isolite Extreme for windows (excellent for keeping internal cool in summer and warm in winter).
And window vents to ensure airflow and reduce condensation.
Have not seen the isolate extreme so will investigate that. For us it’s more Importantly about keeping our dog cool in summer at festivals. We can put on extra clothes in the winter, but he can’t take his coat off in summer.Liner and topper for roof as mentioned above.

I’ve had them in the Cali overnight on the driveway and when external temp was 22degC and sun on Cali all day, it was still refreshingly cool inside late afternoon. They come with velcro to fasten around the window which I didn’t use as was sure it would get clogged with dog hair, I just slip them behind the Cali blinds. Expensive but extremely effective.Have not seen the isolate extreme so will investigate that. For us it’s more Importantly about keeping our dog cool in summer at festivals.

I had a look. It’s very similar to some internal window insulation I have already. I have cab windows sorted with ones made for VWs and I can use the cover from our previous van on the back. Just got to think about the sides. I know a company that sells the insulation fabric and makings.I’ve had them in the Cali overnight on the driveway and when external temp was 22degC and sun on Cali all day, it was still refreshingly cool inside late afternoon.
