I think anyone that has tried them has found them to be very utile and worth the cost and slight effort to cut them to size. Tape them together using the lightweight alumintum type tape found in the same aisle.

Do you have to take them out to close the ends?

It is one of those things that is great to have available. There may be times when you want more cooling inside. Or more heat inside. Or darker inside. Or quieter inside. Or more privacy inside. Reflectix in the windows solves all. And slipping it in-n-out in a HTT bunk's windows is wayyy easier than most popups (height to bed, etc. ) When not in use just slip them behind your sofa or if you can't do that, you'll find a good spot. You can zip, fold, bend, remove, they're such kind ,forgiving things - they let you manhandle them any way you want and pop right back for the next trip another way. Our Roo windows are a tad different than our popup ones were so we needed to trim a bit, took all of about 5 minutes to complete that. The outside bunk covers are fine even though one popup bed was bigger than either of these, just a little adjustment and back in business. Wouldn't get rid of them for anything -- just never know when we might want some for one use or another.

Our Roo dealer has it in his store now even. At a real nice markup too LOL.
by the way Crazymcs, there are 4' wide ones and then the 25" (27? 24?) anyway smaller, we've always bought the 4' .. easier to trim to fit than piecing together for windows. We've used reflectix in 3 campers now. And end covers.

p.s. if you can not afford to get the real thing right now, you could use those folding car window shades with the foilish finish as temporary but it won't work as well or be as easy to handle and customize

Probably not, but I always do because most of the time I don't have them in unless very hot, or very cold.

Hello-
We used reflectix for the first time this year and love it! We like it for several reasons:
-Easy to maneuver and store (Under mattress)
-Creates a noticeable difference in temperature (hot or cold)
-Makes the bunk ends MUCH darker in the early AM
-Easy to unzip and pull out when you want the breeze
We leave the end windows in while folding up, but do pull the side windows to minimize bending and bulk. (Although I now many others don't).
We purchased a big roll - Reflectix 48-Inch-by-50-Foot... for $96.77 from Amazon.com. This was enough to do all six windows on bunk ends and a full size piece for under each mattress. It was the perfect amount with little left over. Easy to cut.
Good luck!
