Looking to buy one of those sun screens that hang from the awning. Have found several different brands for this product and was wondering which brand has worked good for you or maybe did not work for you?
Thanks

This is the one we have. It's worked awesome for us so far. You can see through it and it still shades the sun and keeps the temps down.Patty O Shade

I have a Patty-OShade too. They have a strip at the top which you insert into, and slide along, one of the open slots that canopy rollers have. Pretty simple and works well.

Sewmasters in Yuma have a great product they make on site. We did the custom windshield and side window fit along with the three sided room all in the same colour. Great service and a good price which gives us a dramatic new addition to the rig.

Will they roll up in awning or do you have to take off each time you put awning up?

You can make you own from bulk shade cloth or order them any size you want… the material is easy to work with and the won’t fray…

I use the smoke blue 70%... shade cloth can also be bought at HD and Lowes…

click

for hanging you can sew a rope in a hem or put grommets in it and hang it from awning hooks…

Our Carefree of Colorado sun screens will roll up in our awnings, but not for travel!!! Only for wind, while at the site..
