Do any of you have experience with EZsnap, or other options? I am thinking of using EZ's adhesive fasteners and making shades from a different outdoor mesh, not the one they sell. Are the fasteners good? Will they stand up to being taken on and off dozens of times?Is there another option that is better?I'd appreciate any tips.Edit: I changed the title of this thread, to make it more what I'm asking for advice about.

I bought them and have to admit they worked real well. Only thing is they charged an arm and a leg for them.You could achieve the same by going to a big box store and buying sun shade material and adding the suction cups yourself.

Maybe that's a subject I should read up on.

Personally, I would not put holes in the RV to attach external screens. I have Magneshades that use magnets. Easy to put up and no holes.

Adhesives do not hold up to the extreme Temps found on the surfaces of a vehicle or RV, at least none that I've found.
