They're used to be an outfit from Fla. that traveled larger RV shows that made custom windshield covers with snaps a few years ago. They did them on site.

Yes, a dark surface under glass is a radiant collector and a convective heat distributor to the room behind the glass. If the screen is outside the glass, the heat stays outside the glass.

I have solar screens on every window of my bus. I used snaps on the last bus but they were a pain and some of them broke, so this time around I used the little twist lock fasteners can't remember what you call them. The screens stay on all the time. Only take the ones off the front window when travelling. Been on there for thousands of miles. I bought all the materials at home depot for around $200 and made them myself.

I'm looking at this clear and tinted film for the windshield and living room area, lvmci...

Well I guess a lot of the task is removing much of the heat thats absorbed.

Being on the move sure helps dissipate the heat some. The tinting we all realize nowadays is a great option.

Helping to address some of our stationary sit spells is something I can happily have an interest in. Staying Cool with a bit more shade.

So many of our mounting options are different. Windshield probably being the easiest in the term; not to many double or triple glazings.

Though to run the gamut of fastener styles we like, then the ones that can in reality use thats good and in short order, well I have to consider each coach or window and some quite differently.

This is going to get a bit higher on my interest scale for sure!

Good day

RV Toy Store is where we purchased our sun screens & tire/wheel covers from. It makes a world of difference when sitting for a spell. we don't pull them out nor put them on if its an overnight or a short stay.

Geoff, those electric sunscreens are pretty nice for driving into the sun. You can lower them just enough as needed to block it out. I like them much better than sun visors

Geoff,I may have a set of Rosen brackets check their site and see if that is what you are looking for

I really like mine.The price, not so much. But worth it to me.
Getting a replacement shield wasn't easy 15 years ago.
mine has a horizontal adjustment.

I was in Texas.
They (then) were not selling to the public, and I did not have a dealer. But the squeaky wheel got the grease
