Title: Mobile Home and Summer Heat
Post by Campeche on May 8^th, 2012 at 4:12pm

Hi all

I have inherited a fairly big mobile home and have no clue how hot they get in summer.
I presume rather hot and its already pretty toasty in there today.
I was wondering if I need to cover the roof to make it conformable for an elderly visitor?
Or any other advise as to how I can keep it cool would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks!

Very very hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter. If you have electric get an air conditioner unit fitted. If not, take the roof off with a tin opener in the summer and install a stove for the winter.

Hi. A friend of mine had the same problem, and he covered his roof with shading ( netting ) and it did help. i have also seen a mobile home, with a canopy on stilts built over the van. I think you will roast in the summer, if you dont take any action. [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

Thank you, I suspected as much.
I think I'll try and cover it up and create some shading ... which I'm sure the wind will rip apart in no time :)
