Beating the heat - room platform vs alternatives

[2martins]

Hello everyone!

I'm considering adding a platform on top of my short bus, with the primary purpose of reducing heat inside by having airflow between the roof and platform. Am I crazy for thinking this is the way to go? Better to insulate the roof? I'm worried about headroom because I only have 3" inside to spare, and the floor I'm putting in will put a dent in that.

Any help, advice, anecdotes or miscellany are greatly appreciated!

I use shade sails on my house in the summer as I don't have AC. It helps a lot. The first thing I bought for the bus is shade sails. You have to put them up when you stop, it's not permanent. I'll have to see how I'm going to tie them. It gets easier every time I put them up in the summer. Learning the right knots helps. They have them at Costco.
