A small, gasoline-powered generator can be carried in the trailer. When the trailer is parked, the generator can be placed outside and set to run many cooling devices.These include portable air conditioners or fans.
Location is everything in setting up your camper trailer. Pay attention to the sun patterns and take advantage of naturally shaded areas. If large trees are nearby, position the trailer in their shade, if possible.
Awnings attach to the top of the camper trailer and offer a large amount of shade. An awning does more than offer those outside of the trailer shade and rain protection -- it also keeps the metal on the side of the trailer cooler. This results in cooler inside temperatures.
The roof of a camper trailer is subject to large amounts of sunshine. If the roof surface temperature can be reduced, the inside temperature will drop. There are many roof coatings that are designed to reflect the sun's rays, thus resulting in a cooler indoor environment. These coatings can easily be applied by the average RV enthusiast.
Cooking inside of a small camper trailer will quickly drive indoor temperatures to an uncomfortable level. Many small campers are equipped with cooking appliances, but an outdoor barbecue can be a better idea. An outdoor barbecue can bring the whole family together and make the meal preparation enjoyable for everyone.
