Info on RV Exterior Shade Screens

(1/5) > >>

Steve Huber:
Moderator note:  This was originally a for-sale ad, and they have been sold, but there is good information about RV screens.



Shade screens fabricated for a 2000 Beaver Marquis by RV Shade Screen Co. in March of 2015. Have less than a month total time on RV. I think they will fit any SMC era Beaver. Check measurements to verify. They significantly reduce inside temps and provide privacy while allowing those inside coach to see outside. Screens include windshield, driver's window, door window, and window immediately rear of door. Pictures and measurements attached. We will be getting another set to fit current RV.

What holds them to the glass?

I have a 97 Beaver Patriot, not sure how those compare window wise to what you have, but I might be interested if they are easy to install and are the right size.

David T. Richelderfer:
Our screens have the same general shape as Steve's and are attached with snaps.  The male sides of each snap are screwed into the wall of the coach just outside the window frames' corners.  The female sides of the snaps are located at each corner of the screen plus at the bend of the screen on the door.  It takes a ladder to lift the screens and to reach to engage the high snaps.  I use the awning cane to disengage the high snaps.

Steve Huber:
Tim,
Dave is correct re the attachment process. I have a 12' extendable ladder that worked great to attach them. If the snap to snap measurements I supplied reach fiberglass on each side of the window in question, they should fit. Snaps will be close together at each side of top of windshield and adjoining screen (door and driver's side) so keep this in mind when measuring. Buyer will need to supply the male snaps that screw into the coach (available at Lowes, Home depot, etc.). Simply drill a pilot hole, apply a dab of Lexel or silicon and screw snap into position.

Tim Schafer:
So they go on the outside of the coach?  We're not full timers, yet, mainly just weekend campers, so not sure if it's worth the effort to just put them on for a few days at a time if I have to bring a ladder along.

Let me think about this for a little while, if someone else wants to buy, don't hold out for me.  We'll get back to you later if we are still interested.

Thanks,

Tim & Ann
