I wonder if maybe it is the hard glass outer layer on the Oasis that is trapping heat from the sun.
I would think that if it was being caused by the hard glass outer layer we would have heard about it from the Voyage, as well as the other 2 Oasis models, since they all have this. Maybe it's just the aluminum back, or maybe a combo of the aluminum back and the glass top?
