Sun shades for Seneca

Just picked up our new 2016 Seneca and wanted to replace the silly front curtin with a sun shade. It's a little larger then the normal size you can get at WalMart, so has anyone found a place that carries the size needed for a motor home?

From an earlier post, what I have in mine. Fit well. And the 2016 cabs are the same, even if not listed.

I take it you are talking about the front windshield privacy curtain. On long stays we use the silver heat reflectant shield, plus the interior privacy curtain. You can purchase the larger ones at any truck stop. I think we bought ours at CW.

Thanks, they work well. They roll up for storage and have a sewn-on velcro strap to keep them rolled up.

The windshield cover is held in place by lowering the sun visors onto the cover. The side windows have 4 suction cups each to hold them to the window. They have never fallen off even after "baking" for a while. The temperature difference is significant when in the sun.

My Dear Wife also modified the original rear bedspread to serve to separate the cab from the coach. We went with an RV Superbag for the bed and did not need the bedspread anymore. When camping we stash laundry bags and such up there to keep them out of sight.

The cover definitely makes the coach easier to heat/cool when it is up. We use the Jayco-supplied curtain when it is just overnight, so it still has a purpose!

Check out heatshieldstore.com. They have products specific to your vehicle. We have this in our '14 Seneca 37TS. Perfect fit, complete privacy and keeps the cab cool!

After reading an earlier post from Robbyr I purchased the same from Amazon. The side windows came in for the wrong year Freightliner and Heatshield promptly sent me the correct model. They work great and as he said the side shield suction cups have always stuck.

Like others here, we opted for the Heatsheildstore.com products in a reflective gold color, in an attempt to better match the coach. They fit very well and look great. Easy on, easy off, tight fit eliminates light.

I like the fact that they fit on the inside instead of over the outside, and out of the weather. They will probably last longer

When we picked up our 2018.5 37RB there was a long bag under the table. Asked the guy doing the walk thru about it and he didn’t know what it was. Opened it up and it was a set of nice fitting window shades, the front one tucks in between the dash and overhead and the sides you open the door and the shades go on the doors with magnets and you shut the door. Not sure if this is coming on all the new S2RV chassis modes or not but should be able to check with Jayco to see if they are available.

Hey Dan
How do these outside shades attach to the vehicle?

I also have the sun shields for my cab. Went one step father and made a curtain suspended from the factory curtain track to the floor. Really works well with the cab A/C. When overnight parking just close the curtain for privacy .
