- Just_JeffExplorerGlad it helped!
I also have a windshield cover, and use it only occasionally. One benefit of the outdoor one is that people can't see what you have laying in the cab, which we use for storage when we're stopped.
The curtains also cover up the messy cab when we have stuff up there, too. - KristinUExplorer

I installed some thermal curtains that I can open and close, but they block off the whole cab area so I only have to heat the house. That was important when we were living in Colorado! They're easily removable, too. Click here for the full write-up.

Based on seeing Just Jeff's post on this previously this is exactly what we use (thank you, Jeff!) But since our entry door is right behind the cab we pull both curtains back to the driver side when not in use. I added a hook and the curtains came with a pair of tiebacks, so we use just one and hold them both back out of the way over there. It does a great job keeping either heat or cold in the cab and out of the living area, and of course it works great for privacy.
We also have the external windshield cover, but haven't used that as much - especially for shorter stays. But we do like having it on for longer stays and for storage. If I had to choose just one, I would go with the interior thermal curtain. For a late overnight stop or landing during pouring rain it is way easy to pull the curtain over...I'd never mess with the windshield cover in those scenarios. - Irish_RebExplorerI have been looking for these but we have a 2014 Chev chassis and I can't find any year listed beyond 2012. Do these panels fit all years?

Here is what you are looking for I have them for all my vehicles.
They fit perfectly work well and are good quality. - DUNEBUGGYDOUGExplorerWe use a spring loaded shower curtain rod with a piece of heavy fabric attached.We just let itdown to block the opening and to open it up just pick up the fabric and lay it on bunk bed
- tatestExplorer IIWhat are you trying to cover?
We've put drapes, on spring rods, over the windows we really want to block, and have an insulated light blocking drape we hang between cab and cabin. Five snaps hold it up.
Not something we buy, something we make. - bukhrnExplorer III

We use our cab all the time, as our seat don't swivel, we use them & the rest of the cab area for storage, keeps things out of the way.
Since the cab is of no use when parked, I have a curtain that covers both the over-cab berth we call the attic, and blocks the view from the windshield/side windows. We have complete privacy. They slide easily back and forth. - Beverley_KenExplorer

I use a Reflectex truck size windshield sun screen and cut from the same material purchased from Home Depot, I fit pieces for the two side windows. They stay by wedging them in the grooves around the perimeter. The windshield block is held in place by the visors. No tools, no Velcro. They all fold neatly for easy storage.
Exactly what we have.
