    Default Exterior sunshades for front windows

    I"ve searched the forum and only come up with posts from 2009 .. sorry if I've missed more recent posts and this is redundant.

    We have a 2008 Marathon Prevost H3-45 and will be spending many weeks during the summer on a lot that faces NW, so we'll get afternoon / evening sun...making me interested for the first time in those black sunshades that go on the outside of the windshield and front, side windows.

    Our coach has snaps in all the right places ... so the previous owner must have had custom shades made. I've found a company RV Sunshades that does this for coaches, including Prevost, but they might not have a representative in the locations we plan to be. They send mobile techs in vans to measure, cut and install within several hours.

    Any others have these installed? Are there other vendors besides RV Sunshades that use the snaps which I already have? Places we'll be between Jan and May will include Las Vegas, Indio, San Diego area, California Central Coast; and then Traverse City, Mi

    Thoughts and advice appreciated.

    I have front window shades built by RV Sunshades. Love them. Had them on my last coach as well. They allow you to see out easily, but cut the intrusion of sun into the coach. Also provides a level of privacy as its hard to see in the coach when installed. Go For It!

    Thanks. I wear cochlear implants and it might be too dangerous to handle their magnets. In the process of researching. Plus I'd like to take advantage of existing snap rivets if possible. But they're on my backup list

    So I just talked w/ Diego and he can do it on site when we're in Indio in March. He said $495 for the windshield and 2 side windows, and he'll custom cut and match it to the installed snap rivets. I didn't ask him about the wipers / mirror covers. THANKS for the referral.
