Heat Loss

I have a 2009 37 CKM KZ Montego Bay, originally purchased in New York. We've had the rig for about 6 years, but brought it down to SW Florida. We have a center kitchen with the sink and cabinets on the inside wall. These cabinets seem to be directly over the black/grey and freshwater tanks. This summer we noticed that a LOT of heat was coming up through these cabinets. We lined the cabinets with double-layer bubble insulation (floors and walls), but it didn't seem to have any effect. I checked to see if the tanks had heaters, but can't seem to find anything. None of the other floor based cabinets in the unit seem to have this problem. I've blocked off the cold air returns, both in the rig and in the storage area- nothing. The storage area is not as hot as under the cabinets, so I don't think it's coming from there. The hot water tank is fully enclosed in a styrofoam cover, so no heat is escaping from there. It definitely seems to be coming from underneath. Has anyone else had this problem and have any suggestions as to how to fix it? Thanks.

First thing I'd do is get one of those point and shoot thermometers. See if you can narrow down where it's the most hot.
