We have had both exterior sun shades and interior sun shades. My current coach has interior roll down sun shade. It is 'adequate' for the Arizona sun, but not great.

The problem with interior shades is the sun comes in through the windshield and gets trapped in the space between the windshield and the interior solar shade and the heat just builds up and builds up ..... and radiates right through the interior solar shade. Its a matter of physics. The best heat prevention is to block the sun BEFORE it comes through the windshield.

the MagneShade looks promising as I would prefer not to have to drag out the ladder or foot stool to install or remove. for those who have them how well do the magnets hold in the high speed springtime winds in the southwest? does MagneShade have local dealers/installers?
