What are the best cooling systems for extreme heat in camper vans?

Rooftop air conditioners offer maximum cooling but need significant power, while 12V evaporative coolers suit dry climates with less power. Window-mounted AC units cool efficiently with lower power demands. Use roof vents with fans for cross-ventilation, and portable battery-powered fans when boondocking. Reflective window coverings and insulation markedly reduce heat gain.
