I bought them at "The Shade Shoppe" in Don-Wes Flea Market. They've been there for about 10 yrs now and came highly recommended. They did great work.

I took the them measurements of each window, chose the fabric & color and put down a deposit. They then fabricated them and brought them to me for installation. There was an issue with them doing the installation because of some specific park rules about them having to have liability insurance which they didn't have. I had paid extra for them to do the install but instead he acted as my personnal consultant and made sure I did it right. It's actually quite easy for a person to do by themselves.

They have several different fabrics to chose from. They have 80% & 90% UV ratings & I think a 92%. We chose the 80% because of the increased light allowed and the ability to pass more air when the windows are open. We chose a light silver color instead of the common black because we didn't need another heat sink. Besides they look pretty good.

I do take them off when we are moving the rig. It takes all of 15 minutes max to take down the ladder, put them up and put the ladder up again. It's the same to take down. To me it's a "none issue" on time.

The new A/C worked quite well before and even better now. It cools this 36' GKE to 76* inside w 90* outside w/o any problem. We'll see how it does this summer but I'm expecting it'll work just fine. We just make sure that we clean the intake filters at least once per month.

PS....love the Don Wes Flea Market! I wonder if you ought to put this info in a seperate thread? We are a bit off topic.
