exterior sunshades

We would like to purchase an exterior windshield cover so we can block out the UV rays, keep the inside cooler, and give us privacy. We've been looking online at the Sungard brand and were wondering if anyone has them installed and if so how they like them. We were considering the twist-lock type instead of snaps or velcro.

Well there seems to be a bunch of other holes in our coaches plugged up with windows,a/c units,vents and so on that seem to cause a bunch of problems when reading these forums.
The last thing I personally want is a dozen more holes with plugs...just sayin...:B

The only decision to make is if you want some extra holes in your coach or not.

We had the Sunguard on our Dynasty and loved them. (4 years) When we bought the Executive the first thing we did was have them installed. The RV Toy Store in Palm Springs came out to our campsite, measured, came back the next day and installed them at our campsite. They are now 5 yrs old and look like new. They also come with a nice padded bag to put them in when not in use. We full time so they are on a lot in all kinds of weather. We installed the snap type but I would recommend the twist locks. Also, have the corners wrapped to make it easier to install when it's cold outside. If you need a pic of what I'm saying, let me know.....Dennis

Another vote for Magneshades. No holes and easy to put up and take down. I have been in very strong winds and they have not moved.

We have the sun guard and went with the twist locks because sometimes we get 40 mph winds in the Baja. They work as advertised & we are happy with them.Had them ordered to fit and installed at an rv dealer.

when I was looking at them years ago, they had the snap type where you drilled holes for the snaps, and also a model with stick on snaps where you didn't have to drill. also magnetic strips.

Personally I try and avoid pulling holes in the coach. Already have enough potential factory installed leak points. Magne shades are the easiest to install and least intrusive but being custom made can be a bit hard on the RV budget. I made my own duplicating Magne Shade. Not quite as elegant but gets the job done.

We installed the Magne Shade on the windshield and the two front side windows. They keep the heat on the outside of MH vs an inside shade that lets the heat on the inside. You can see out of them but it's hard for people to see in. They work well.
