Custom Magnetic Window Screens

[RollingManCave]

I made these for a different reason but soon found out how well they add to the ventilation and cooling of my class C. The heat is probably coming from all the glass. The screens allow the heat to naturally be removed. If you see my screens and sign while I am on the road, stop by and take a look. The picture shows the second generation of screens and they are holding up well.

Not real sure I follow just when the screens are at work? Do you use them while driving? While parked?
Easiest way we found to keep the heat out while parked was a thermal windshield cover and then block off the cab area of the truck. If its cool enough to open the camper windows, really didn't need the truck windows open and besides, it provided some privacy while parked. If it is warm, you don't want the windows open anyway.
Have never had a bug problem while driving so don't see where you could use them while driving.
Really curious as to how these are utilized and hoping to learn a new trick.

Screens are mounted on the outside of the window when parked.
We used to use just the foil insulated panels on the inside. But we broke down and bought the Magneshade. Wish we had done it sooner.
The interior surface temperature was dramatically improved in hot sunny conditions. Double digit improvement (Fahrenheit) over just using the foil insulated panels.

I had the same results as you. At least with my layout anyway. The heat from the glass is not allowed to accumulate as it is just natural for heat to move out, even with no breeze. With a breeze it makes the whole coach cooler. As far as bugs go. I guess that depends on where you stay. I don't stay at rv campgrounds much and spend the daytime in natural setting like National parks and around lakes and oceans and of course you will have flying insects that are looking for food. I have seen many times folks jumping out of their vehicle trying to get away from a flying intruder. If your one of those folkd that like to park your car in front of a lake why your eat lunch, it is a nice option. My best mod for the money so far!

I just use them when parked. Don't need them when moving. They work great for my rig with keeping it cooler and keeping the bugs out. Your milage may differ.
