All the above! Bought a new trailer with 4 slides that had the prep package, but no awnings. Sitting outside in the sun and heat, the AC's were cranking to maintain 74*. An infrared thermometer showed the ceilings on the slides were 88*, where the roof was 82*. After installing the awnings, the AC's were able to keep it cooler with less run time and the ceiling temps on the slides were 10* cooler. Big difference. Only thing to be watchful for are very windy days, close the slides, and after heavy rains close and reopen to drain the water off because it will pool.
