The day I was making them they created a 23 degree temperature difference between our dinette / recliner window frames! It's amazing how much heat gets transferred through the windows and frames.
They roll up for easy storage and attach with Velcro. It's a pretty simple project with incredible benefits (The wife can see out the windows and I'm not sweating by noon)
They've made a huge difference in keeping our rig cool this summer. I struggled in building the first few, but I've got a system down now that let's me build them pretty quick and easy. I had to get some more material to finish up one last window, so figured I'd document it and get lots of pictures. It's a pretty long write up, but you can find it here: https://www.wanderandreflect.com/202...creens-for-rv/
Thanks to everyone who's written about these before and contributed to their evolution over the years!

Why not put the screen frame /velcro on the window frame rather than on the glass? Cover the window frame as well as the glass?
