Greyhawk window covers for cab
I have read several postings about covering the windows in the front cab to keep the heat out. I tried to use some of the links to order some of these products but the links were old. So what products are you using to keep the heat and sun out? Maybe also serve as a privacy shield.
Yep! I'm a newbie too!

The side windows are the ones that I am having difficulty locating. I did see the Heatshield front window covers on Amazon. But, need side window covers. Thank you! I may just use the scissor method, too!

What I did was took brown paper held it up to side window creased the paper around the window frame inside then trimmed paper to fit window. When satisfied with fit used it as a template to cut out the foil bubble insulation been using the same ones for over two years they look as good as the day I cut them out.You can used a cardboard sunshade for a template for the windshield just cut a split down from the top to make it easier to go around the rear view mirror. Then after I put them up a big heavy throw goes over the bunk area, another thing that helps to after a trip a lot of heat comes up from engine area I open the hood for about a hour weather permitting cools engine area quickly

I bought one for my Greyhawk 29 MV. I believe i got it from Camping world. It covers the windshield and side windows and has flaps that can be dropped to allow visibility. They make a huge difference in the inside temperature and add privacy. One of the best purchases I have made.

This! RVUpgrades has them in stock. Used it in high winds and never budged. You open the doors and a flap on the top goes over the corner of the door. When you shut the door it holds it in place. Also has magnets along the bottom to help hold it down. Works great! This one does not open like ones previously mentioned. Easy on and off.

We’ve used the same one for a couple of years and it helps a lot.
It does very well in high winds as well.

Thank you all! Those are some great ideas! However, I can't seem to get on the Heatshield.com website. I get server error messages???

We put one on every time we overnight to keep the light out, and it does help with temp control. Also, use it during storage, long term or short...takes 2 minutes to install single handed! Better than the curtain that comes with the Redhawk.
