We have begun to research sun screens for our LaPalma windows and would like to know who has the exterior or interior versions? Can you recommend which company or product you have had good experience with?

We like the idea of the interior type and would like to know if anyone is using them with the one-piece PanaVision windshield. Do they sag?

Snaps, twist hooks, straps or suction cups?
(The mh came with the twist hooks for the front bra so there are a bunch of them already there.)

We'd like easy to use, but don't want to sacrifice quality and durability. Any opinions or advice is appreciated.

Your in luck!!!

I just posted my experience. Go to the last post on the page HERE


I also have the one-piece PanaVision I think my post will answer your questions.

I bought my Sunguard screens from RVToyStore.com

I ordered them on the 31st of July and got them on the 7th.

I also ordered the mirror covers.

Sunguard's web site is: SUNGUARD

RVToyStore's web site is: RVTOYSTORE

I made my own interior shades. Bought the material from Beasley MFG. in Center Hill, Fl.

I measured the windshields, cut the material plus 4" on the sides, sewed in side seams to accept curtain rods, and installed 2" suction cups at the top. Bought 8 expandable curtain rods from Wal-Mart. Total cost around $35.

On my last rig (05 Diplomat) I had MCD exterior screens. They used snaps to hold them on. Required a ladder to install/remove. Seemed to hold more dust against the windshield. A pain to take off/store in the rain.

Current coach has interior screens. Windshield piece is held on via a plastic track attached to the top of the glass. Door piece is attached with velcro. Like the interior set up much better. Takes less then a minute to put up.
