Info on RV Exterior Shade Screens
Doug Allman:
We always like facing west or south while in Yuma for the Jan, Feb & March and even with the outside screens on the dash area is HOT. Wondered about this foil and we will have them under the outside shades this year. THANK YOU We can remove them if we need to see our neighbors when it is cooler out.

Doug,
I am still amazed at the difference it makes in the front of the coach with the windshield, the drivers window and the slide front window covered, I also did the bedroom little windows on the inside.
The reflective foil is very easy to remove and install, just unsnap the screen and slide it out or in.
Joel Ashley:
Just be aware that when the reflective material is on the inside of a double-paned window, it can result in reflected heat being trapped between the panes. In excess, such heat can compromise the window's seal.

Doug Allman:
Thanks Lee,
I am sure Lee is talking about putting the reflective material up between the exterior side of the window and the outside window coverings that you install on the coach after you get into campsite or location you are going to be stationary at for a while.
RV glass with solar film or the like reflective surface can be damaged just the same as putting solar film on a thermo pane window. Heat build up will most likely damage the seal or shatter the glass or both.
Joel Ashley:
I was just concerned when he mentioned doing the inside of his little bedroom windows.
-Joel
