Last year I got one at Camping World. It was the fold up, silver type. Fit our class A perfectly. I just looked on their web site but didn't see it. Might want to check in their store when you get a chance. It wasn't very expensive. It's in the 2011 print catalog for $11.99 (or $13.33 non club price) but not on the web site.

I found 3 at a Wal Mart clearance isle several years ago. I use the 3rd one to cover the shower skylite when in hot weather. I hold it in place with sand filled zip lock bags.
The web address listed on the label is auto-expressions.net, but doesn't seem to be around anymore. They were labeled as Magic-Shade Sunshade.

I first bought two pair of the "super-jumbo" suv size. Turned on end, the four "pop-out" shades covered the windshield well. I later found an rv version in av RV store.

I use two of the big ones from camping world. They cover the entire windshield and the two front windows. I clip the ends to the sunshield to hold them in place.

I have a pair of the "super jumbo" shades -- I think I bought from Camping World -- have had them for about 4 years. They cover up very well -- from side to side and up to above the cabinets located up front.

I used to use that silver stuff. One time I went to hose down the windshield to wash it on a hot day, the windshield split right down the middle  . I now use sun screen material on the inside held on with suction cups just like RV Quick Shades sells.

Check easy curtains.com. A little pricey, but they are great.

If you are attempting to stop the heat gain and shade from uv it is best to have exterior shades. The object is to stop it before it enters the coach. There are several manufacturers that produce exterior shades including Magna Shade which I feel is one of the easitst to install. No ladder needed and no snaps to contend with.

You can find the "space foil" in a hardware store and cut it to size.
