Re: [VAL] Shiny Airstreams

The International WBCCI  Rally was held in this town in 78-79.  
Temperatures during the rally were a 100 degrees or more. An area RV 
dealer brought in a number of used Airstreams, anticipating some sales 
I suspect.  I stopped at the  lot and there were two trailers parked 
side by side, one a 31 ft, 1975 Airstream and the other a  75', 30ft 
Argosy.  I was curious as to how hot these units were on the inside.  
Both were closed up tight-doors, windows & vents.  Both were unlocked 
so I went into the unpainted Airstream and what a blast of heat.  I 
then went into the Argosy and it was significantly cooler.  This proved 
to me the painted trailer was much cooler and  my conclusion  was 
because of the  paint.    Incidentally  I checked with attendant I he 
said no one had been in either unit.  He had unlocked the doors but did 
not open them.
