Prompt windsheild sunscreen

I am strongly considering getting a prompt sunscreen for my new motorhome. Had snap on before and wasn't crazy about need for ladder. This looks like great solution. I will have mid door so that is not an issue. Anyone who has one who would be willing to share an opinion?

Magnets are an issue with some medical implants. Not worth the risk.

Just curious, why can't you do magnets of that power? We bought a MagnaShade windshield screen last year and love it! Once the magnets are mounted (a one-time process), attaching the shade is quick and easy, with no need for a ladder.

When I go motorhome camping with my brother-in-law, I can have my MagneShade put on before he gets out his ladder and gets it set up.

MagneShades are not the most inexpensive shade on the market, but the quality is top notch.

I have used prompt sunscreen for a number of years. Works well and I will continue to use it.

We have had a Prompt screen on front of our bus for last 8 years and simply love it. If something were to happen to it, I'd go right back and buy another from Prompt. We went basic black as it increases outward visibility and best limits inward view, sure a light color might reflect more heat, but for us it was more about blocking the inward views.

In the 8 years of use I have replaced the suction cup once. It got damaged due to my error yet one call to Prompt and they sent me a free one in the mail.

Before you buy a magna shade, look into their "customer service" and the reviews. I was NOT impressed with the dealer I spoke to in Quartzsite and the reviews I read were not all positive, like Prompt is.......I like their concept, but there is more to a product than the ease of using magnets to install.

I use the RV Quick Shades which suction cup to the inside too.
When in storage or facing west I use both. Usually use just the Promp camping. Sometimes if I can't wash the windshield and it's really dirty, I'll just use the inside shades.

I have to say I've been thinking/half looking bout windshield sun/visibility screens. These endorsements are wow. Looked on internet and could find no bad reviews that were verifiable.
Price seems very reasonable from a quick check. Think I'm going to look forward at acquiring also.
So thanks to all who posted here. Will be keeping tract of forum for updates.

Keep them on year around-I assume you live in motorhome year around but do take them off when traveling between stops.


Actually life got a little busy and my Moho sat unused for two years with them on. Also I have driven it with the windshield cover on dozens of times when I move it from my backyard to my driveway.
