Can I drive with them on?
NO!
What are RV Quick Shades made of?
100% Textilene, manufacturered in the USA. Textilene is woven polyester mesh covered with PVC, offering up to 80% UV and heat reduciton. The manufacturer of the material warrants the fabric for 5 years in outdoor use.
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 seem warmer to the touch because black absorbs the heat rather than reflecting like the light colors. Black seems to reduce the glare a bit more.
Which color gives the most daytime privacy?
White gives the most daytime privacy with beige and gray running a close second. When there is back lighting in the coach, you may see movement.
Black gives the least amount of daytime privacy, but not enough to make a decision based on that fact.
Which color gives 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 for my coach?
Basically it is a personal choice; consider the outside of the coach first. The color of the shade will show most from the outside looking in; therefore, the number one factor should be to coordinate with the outside paint scheme. Black is always a neutral shade resembling a tinted window. If you have a full paint silver coach with a beige dash, choose either gray or black.
What makes your suction cups stay up and others I have tried do not?
Many suction cups are 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, turning brittle and yellowing, while providing reliable service across thermal extremes of -2 to 120F. Precision engineered cross section designs resists strain and stress, for long term holding power, even at maximum loadings. (Each cup is rated to 3 pounds.) Easy release tabs permit rapid removal without damage to the cup, the shade or the mounting surface. In addition, we use the high quality "long Nub" suction cup and special plastic tack.
Occasionally you will have a suction cup malfunction - clean your windshield, wipe off the suction cup with a damp cloth and press it firmly back on the glass. If you are staying put for days or months, reach up now and then and press each suction cup down again.
LONG TERM STORAGE: You may have a malfunction if the shades are left unattended for extended periods of time. There may be a very gradual release from the glass.
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 on our website. 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 for the outside, you will see the additional suction cups.
What size do I need?
It is always best to measure your individual windshield. For two piece windshields measure across the top of the windshield on the tinted portion of the glass to the center bar - (Width). Then measure the distance from the top of the windshield to the dash (Length). One piece windshields: Measure the full width of the windshield (where you intend to attach the suction cups). There is generally a screen printed edge around the top of the windshield...about one inch wide. DO NOT TRY TO ATTACH SUCTION CUPS TO THIS AREA; they cannot get a good seal. Remember, RV Quick Shades can easily be trimmed to your exact requirements for a custom fit. When in doubt...order the next larger size.
Which are better...Inside or Outside Shades?
The question will vary based on who you ask. Outside shades are nice. They do the job, however, they must be used. Our experience and that of our customers tell us that RV Quick Shades are so easy and so quick to put up they are used every time you stop. On a rainy morning departure...what do you do with wet outside shades? RV Quick Shades come off the window clean and dry ready to go up again at your next stop...even if it's just an overnight stop. do they reduce the heat as well? Tests have shown when a heat indicator was used to compare RV Quick Shades (mounted on the inside) to an outside shade with the same density, the temperature measured 18" back from the windshield proved nearly identical, with the inside actually being one degree cooler. Both shades are designed to give you daytime privacy and reduce the UV and heat in your coach.
