Cooling for VW camper
Discussion
Am off in the van for a couple of weeks in late July and am trying to think ahead of a way of cooling the inside. We're not going anywhere particularly hot (prob Newquay, although may venture to France) but if it's even remotely like it has been for the past couple of days, I'm booking a hotel!
So, anyone got any tips for ways of cooling a van overnight? Ours is a VW T2 with a 3/4 length pop top, so can't install roof mounted air con (nor can we afford it, to be honest!). Would a decent fan circulate enough to cool? Are those Dyson things much cop? Have seen thermomats for the canvas pop top, any experience of whether they work to keep heat out rather than in?
If it were just me, I'd only be away in it until end of April and then store it until September! Alas, a persistent wife and the need to get away from work for a bit are driving this one!!

Maybe that give that a shot at home first to see how it goes!
Don't know what it is about it, I [/i]should[i] like the warm weather, but I just can't stand it! Especially after a few beers in the evening!
Any experience with thermomats? We've got them on the windows, just wondering if the pop top cover ones are any good?
