I just made a fitted windshield screen from Reflectix. Our coach (right now) is parked on the street outside our house and gets the afternoon and evening sun right through the front windshield. You can put your hand up against the Reflectix screen on the inside and feel it frying. The driver's side glass is already cracked and I have paranoid fears that the Reflectix will reflect so much heat back up that it will crack it further or crack the other side. Unfortunately moving the coach isn't an option yet.
I'm curious about the external windshield covers that attach to the coach and keep the rays off the glass in the first place. I don't think we'll ever have $300 to drop on a pre-made one when there's already so much other stuff to spend money on. Looking at them though I wonder if I could make one (I can sew), so I have questions!
- Are they made out of shade cloth?
- Do the snaps require driling? Are they readily available? (Also considering rare earth magnets if there's anywhere to attach them).
They sure would be easier to store when not in use... Though when we move the coach to a permanent rented storage space we probably wouldn't want to leave it there. This is L.A., people will steal anything.
