Shades for cab side windows?

I'm having a problem finding shades for my cab side windows. everybody has them for the windshield but not for the side windows. Any suggestions?

    depends on what you mean by shades. Do you want to use these to block the side windows when parked or what?

    I got a cheap $1 store windshield cover cut it in 1/2 and then put small suction cups on it to hold in place and I use it to cover the side windows of the cab when parked.

    The things fit the entire window. I also use a big windshield cover for the front so its easy to close everything off, have solar protection and not spend a fortune on the covers. I bought one of the windshield and side covers from CW but its a PIA to install and remove and store.

    I think dollar tree and other 99cent stores have those things like the other poster shared, just havent used them.

    I had thought of making my own but it surprises me with so many Class C motorhomes on Ford Chassis that someone doesn't make a custom set.Guess it's to the dollar store for me.
  • I've got a bunch of bubble-foil and plan to make my own. I'll just cut them to fit and edge them with duct tape.

    These.

    Amazon has a bunch of different choices.


    Thanks for the links. the first one with the slip over screen material is exactly what I was looking for.

    I have a small Toyota Mini RV, and I wanted something that would let me leave the windows rolled down but keep the bugs out and people from looking into the back.
