Sun Shades help

I am looking to purchase sun Shades for my 2018 Greyhawk. Not sure what to purchase. I see there are covers for the windshield and side windows, and there are inside shades for the front and side windows also. Which is better? I want to blocked the sun and heat out and for privacy also. Appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you all for your suggestions. Jack

Always used these. They are made very well. You’ll get a lot of folks recommending them.

I bought a set of those too.

I also bought a two piece truck cab curtain, this is what I usually use for privacy at night:

X2. I recommend buying the option without the rear view mirror cutout. Just cut a line in the upper middle of the shade to slide up into the rear view mirror. otherwise the cutout is way too large for the mirror if you desire maximum darkness like I do.

We've had Heatshields on front and sides for as long as we've owned our motorhome. Our model stays on with suction cups - install in 3 minutes and roll up for easy storage. It's amazing the way they keep the heat out. They're also pretty inexpensive.

I looked at them but did not find anything for our 2018 Greyhawk. They do not show a list for an E450 Ford just F450. Frustrating not finding our make and model on a lot of website's.

They definitely show the E450. Here's the link:

I’d love to see a comparison of WeatherTech vs. Heatshield sun blockers.

I had the ADCO exterior mounted windshield cover, however, I switched to the heatshield interior mount cover and like it better for my needs. I only used the ADCO cover for about two months, and it is in excellent condition. If anyone is interested, I would sell it for $25.00 shipping included.

I bought Magne Shield for my Freightliner. Their thinking is that their outside cover stops the heat before it gets to the windshield and radiates into the cab.
