We're parked here in Tucson with the occasional sunny day and the sun streaming in the windshield. We've started thinking about sun screens - the kind that go on the outside of the coach and still give you some view. Since we've only had fifth wheels prior to this coach we don't have much experience with these screens. What do we need to keep in mind as we look for someone to purchase from and do any of you have any recommendations? There is someone at Beaudry RV called Big Daddy Sun Screens, anyone have any comments about their work? Thanks.

Bob & Gloria,

For several years we have used the sunscreen that has no snaps or external fasteners. You roll it on from the ground and hook it to the drivers window. The other end is fastened with a large suction cup.
Works great and very easy to mount and dismount. It is made in Florida by a private individual who is very easy to deal with. The name escapes me for the moment but he advertises in the back of the FMCA mag. If you don't find it email me and I will locate a number for you.

Try http://www.rv-sunscreen.com/htproducts.htm (http://www.rv-sunscreen.com/htproducts.htm) Prompt RV Sunscreens. They are great and no ladder needed to put them on.

B & G:

If you are still in Tucson, don't hesitate to have Big Daddy do a set of sun screens for you. We met them at the home coming rally in Eugene last year. Told them they could put new sun screens on our new Intrigue, but they couldn't look like the wrinkled ones on a similar coach parked nearby. He assured us that wouldn't be a problem. We were the first to get a set at that rally and did they ever look great. Nice and tight with just the right light penetration.
Then we went and traded our coach the next day for another Intrigue.

Found Big Daddy at Beaudry's when we stopped there on our way back home last fall and immediately had them install a new set on our current coach. Oddly enough, it came with sun screens from CC as an option, but they are the wrinkled kind with much more light intrusion.
We kept them just to use for winter protection.

You won't be disappointed.
