Can I drive with them on?
NO!
What are RV Quick Shades made of?
100% Textilene, manufactured in the USA. Textilene is woven polyester mesh covered with PVC, offering up to 80% UV and heat reduction. The manufacturer warrants the fabric for 5 years in outdoor applications.
RV Quick Shades are proudly made in the USA of materials produced in the USA.
What color is best?
All colors are rated at the same UV protection rating of up to 80%. The black may feel warmer to the touch because black absorbs the heat rather than reflecting like the lighter colors.
Which color gives the most daytime privacy?
White gives the most daytime privacy with beige and grey running a close second. When there is backlighting in the coach, you may see movement. Black gives the least amount of daytime privacy, but not enough difference to make a decision based on that.
Which color allows the best visibility out?
Black gives the best visibility looking out. From the outside looking in, it shows the least. Black looks like a tinted window. Beige would be second, Gray and White would follow.
All allow you to see out, enjoying the views!
How do I choose the best color?
Basically it is a personal choice; what is the color of your coach on the outside? The color of the RV Quick Shade will show mostly from the outside looking in, therefore the number one factor should be to co-ordinate with the outside paint scheme. Black is always a neutral shade resembling a tinted window. With the addition of mirror and wiper covers, the outside paint is more a determining factor.
Best visibility – Black Lighter/Brighter Coach – White Most Privacy - White, Grey and Beige.
Again, the choice is yours!
Why are “Inside Mounted Shades” better than “Outside Mounted Shades”?
In simple terms, they are not! Any time you put a shade on the outside of your coach, you are stopping the heat and UV before it gets to the glass. However, you must faithfully put the outside shades on each time you stop.
Shades in the basement of your motor coach do nothing to cool you down, stop the UV damage or allow you to enjoy the views. Most outside shades require ladders and drilling. If you are just pulling your privacy drapes closed to block the heat and sun, you are sun rotting the drapes.
Many of our customers have a set of inside and outside, because they know the benefits of the shade and they also know when and where they will use each type of shade.
RV Quick Shades are the shade you will consistently use. They are up and down in a minute - stay clean and dry.
What makes your suction cups stay up and others I have tried do not?
Many suction cups on the market are cheap and imported. RV Quick Shades use only suction cups made in the USA. These suction cups have the patented Light-Diffusing Safety Ring that overcomes the undesirable and unsafe lens action of standard clear cups.
Light passes harmlessly through the cups, without being concentrated, so there is no hot focal point to damage nearby surfaces. They are formulated with exclusive UV-resistant compounds that prevent deterioration, brittling and yellowing, while providing reliable service across thermal extremes of -22 to 120 F. Precision engineered cross section design resists strain and stress for long term holding power even at maximum loadings. (Each cup is rated for 3 pounds). Easy release tabs permit rapid removal without damage to either the cup or the mounting surface. In addition, we use a higher quality “long Nub “ style attached with a special plastic tacks.
Occasionally you may have a “suction cup malfunction”. If this happens, clean your windshield and wipe off the suction cup with a damp cloth. Press it firmly to reapply. If you are staying put for days or months, reach up now and then and press each of the suction cups down again.
In simple terms our suction cups "really suck"!
Do I need additional suction cups?
RV Quick Shades are designed to attach only at the top. Most of the newer coaches have a fairly straight design on the windshield which allow our shades to hang straight down close to the windshield. If your coach has a canted or sloped windshield you may want to purchase additional suction cups for the bottom. Additional suction cups are easy to install and are available through our dealers and through our web site.
The concept of the Original RV Quick Shade is that it is quick and easy; therefore it is used every time you stop. The more suction cups you add, the less easy and quick it becomes. Instead of a neat clean look from the outside, you will see the additional suction cups.
What size do I need?
It is always best to measure your individual windshield and windows. Measure from the side to the center post (width) and from where you want to attach the RV Quick Shade to the windshield on the tint line then down to the dash (length) - these two measurements will give you the panel size.
There is usually a screen-printed edge around the windshield, DO NOT TRY TO ATTACH THE SUCTION CUP TO THIS AREA; it cannot get a good seal. If your windshield has this edge (sometimes it is little dots), measure from just below that edge. Remember, RV Quick Shades can be trimmed to your exact length, when in doubt order the next larger size.
Each set has two panels and a storage bag. You may also check the size chart. Our size chart is to offer guidance only; we have not personally measured all these coaches. These are sizes our customers have ordered for their coaches. Most coaches will use our standard width shade, however there are a few models and makes that require our extra wide shade.
