Dash and floor on psgr side gets HOT, HOT, HOT

My husband doesn't seem very concerned (after all, he isn't having any problems with his side getting too hot). How would I get under the truck (it has those long skirt things below the doors and covering the fuel tanks) and TO that area, and what would I be looking for? I've been trying to get his attention to at least look and see if there IS a problem, but he doesn't believe there's a problem. He says it's to be expected because that's where the exhaust is run. But in the meantime all I can try to do is to ignore the fact that I'm a human raisin. It's EXTREMELY uncomfortable and I cannot seem to get him to take it serious.

 

Maybe it IS normal then? He doesn't get any heat on his side though (or not enough for him to notice anyways). I've had fried chicken leftover and kept it on the floor (on my side) for later and it kept it quite warm. Unfortunately, many bodies don't like it THAT WARM. He tends to get cold easily and with 4 ac vents on his side he can't keep the ac up because it will freeze him out, unfortunately for me though having the ac turned up is the only way my side is even bearable.

 

Could that be why I smell something "cooking" sometimes?

 

I have THREE mats on the floor and STILL feel the heat. I keep my purse on the floor with a big carabiner keychain and I literally burned my hand on the metal when I grabbed the keychain. As hard as I try NOT to complain - it becomes unbearable many days. I try instead to mention how much different one side of a truck can be from the other side. It's like we are in two different worlds and I guess we ARE.

 

That's a great idea. Thanks.
