Ford E350/E450 Door Window Privacy Pop-Open Thingies

When stopped for the night, we always place this type of pop-open sunshade inside to cover the windshield, primarily for the heat, but also for privacy. It is fully private covering the entire windshield with no peep-holes.


Does anyone here know if there is a side window version designed specifically for the E-series door windows? We have a very nice pleated privacy curtain, but since I am already blocking the heat from the sun with the front pop-open, it would be quicker to simply pop-open two more, one for each side window. Using them instead of our pleated curtains would also open the cab to the house better.

I don't want something that covers the outside of the glass. I want something placed on the inside, MOST PREFERABLY the pop-open method.
  • We use the pop-up shades on the side windows. I use the fan-fold type on the windshield, so I am able to 'tuck' the pop-up side shades behind the fan-fold and turned down sun visor.

    I works! I purchased them all for $1.50@ in an end-of-season sale. I even slip a pop-up shade behind the blinds on smaller windows. On the larger dinette and sofa windows I slip a fan-fold shade behind the blind.

    I have aluminum side face out in the hot summer; the black side facing out in the cool weather to pick up a few sun rays.

  • We just use a curtain between the living space and the cab. Not only is it easier but even with window covers, the cab is mostly glass, poorly insulated and significantly colder or hotter than the coach. Plus, if you are using the furnace or air conditioner a curtain will save you a lot of energy. If you don't have a curtain provided with the camper it is easy to cut one out of what ever material you wish then attach it to the edge of the cab overhang with velcro.
