PUGS
Having a pop-up, I STRONGLY recommend these to be one of your first purchases. Not only will it keep the sun from boiling you inside the camper, it will instantly keep it about 15 deg cooler on the inside. Plus, it will catch all the tree sap and anything else that might fall on the bunkends.
Second, Get some large rolls of Reflextix and cut them for the bunk end windows. Easy to store under the matresses during transport and it will give the same cooling effects as the PUGS, plus a little more privacy.
I thought about both of those years ago when I had the pop ups around 2005. I honestly don't see a need for them. My AC and heat do fine in the bunkends and heat and cold had never been a concern.
The one thing that kept me from getting them as a trial is the time to put them on and finding space to store them, beside they're really not cheap. I also don't like clipping things on areas that weren't meant to be weight bearing or have tension on them. Maybe no wearing damage would happen but since I don't actually need them, no sense in finding out.
I do appreciate the heads up as I know in the tropics and desert (California, Florida, Arizona, Texas :) ), they may be useful.
Thanks again.
