We have been using our RV at our daughter's softball tournaments as a way to get the girls out of the heat in between games. It does great until the afternoons and our windshield just produces too much heat. I don't always have a choice in the direction that we can park so sometimes we are stuck catching the afternoon sun.My question - What screen/product do you guys recommend as far as keeping the heat minimized from the windshield? It seems like something on the outside would be best as it blocks the sun from hitting the glass. If possible, I would love something that was effective but didn't block out all the light.Thoughts? Recommendations?

I was all ready to suggest the foil windshield cover for Class A's from CW, then I saw you wanted light. I have gone to Home Depot and gotten beige shade cloth and used grommets to make holes. I used this with bungees for the dog pen to create shade. But you could get some suction cup hooks to secure it to the glass and put this over your windshield. It won't block all the sun but it may help and allow some light in as well.

We use tan shade cloth on the outside of our front window. In addition I opened up the cabinets above the driver seat and stuffed more insulation in there behind where the TV and cabinets are. There was nothing, zero, nada for insulation in that area. If you are letting a bunch of girls in your RV you will have quite the battle keeping it cool. Between the doors opening and the bodies your AC will probably never keep up. We used our RV for our sons HS wrestling events. Nice to take a break in between matches and not go anywhere.

We have Prompt Sunscreens on our windshield and drivers side window and they work great. Takes less than 1 minute to install and no snaps, or ladder needed. We have had ours since 2005 and very satisfied. They come in several colors, ours are gray and match our MH. I would highly recommend them. http://www.rvsunscreen.com/http://www.rvsunscreen.com/htsunscreens.php

If you have a large budget, MCD's powered duo shades.

sorry I replied to the wrong post.

Nomadac is right on target. I have the Prompt and would not trade for anything I've seen
