Heavy screens on the front and front sides, big awning and window awnings, double paned windows with extra tint, shade if I can find it...and, of course, dual ACs.

Ours doesn't have ac, we open roof vent & windows & run window fans
We don't spend much time inside during the day anyway, by bedtime it's usually comfertable.

I have asthma and run the A/C quite often. One side effect of this I discovered was that if the A/C is left running at the normal setting through the morning hours, it keeps the RV cool with less effort in the afternoons. When the RV is opened up to outside air, anything inside that can absorb moisture from the air does so; making the A/C work much harder to remove that same moisture/humidity when it is finally started.

We don't leave our high altitude home in the summer. Only need fans & air conditiners when we go to Texas or other southern states spring or fall.
