Ordered Pop Up Gizmo's today...Updated with PICS

I placed my order for some Pop Up Gizmos today. They should be in next week.

Pretty excited about these solar covers to help combat solar heat in my bunk ends during the day. They should also help retain heat during the late fall and winter months.

They will also provide an extra layer of protection against bird dropping and tree sap.

I got the standard Gizmos.

My plan is to do some tests with a thermometer and compare the temp difference between a covered bunk and a non covered bunk during the heat of the day.

Thanks!

    Thanks for the picture! I cant wait to get the gizmo's installed and see how much of a difference they make.

    Our pup has a slide out so I ordered three covers for each pop out.

    Our summers can kiss 100° and our winters can get into the teens. We fully expect to use our PUP during all seasons.

    Thanks!

    I bought some for our PUP a couple years ago and they have made a big difference. Definitely a good investment. I did go to Lowes and picked up some better spring clips to hold them onto the canvas as the ones that come in the package were rather small.

    I've had them on both of PUPs and firmly believe in them. When I pulled them off of my first PUP to sell, the vinyl roof looked brand new.

    Good luck and I hope you find them useful. Don't forget that Reflectix in the windows is also a boost to keeping heat out during the summer and in during the winter.

    We used them on our P/U and they were great! We were able to take naps during the afternoon at beach campgrounds with no shade.

    Good Luck!
