Windshield sun shade suggestions?

Anyone care to offer recommendations for inside windshield sun shade recommendations? Particularly interested in the type that allow viewing from inside out, but relative privacy from outside looking in.

We have a power front visor that will be lowered at night for complete privacy (as well as during day for increased heat protection).

Thanks for suggestions.

Mike

I have a 2012 378TS and we use an RV Quick Shade in black. Complete viewing from inside but windshield appears completely blacked out from outside. It also reduces heat significantly inside coach. Go to www.RVSunshades4Less.com. I would suggest that if you purchase from them that you also order extra suction cups. The shade has been a quality purchase for us and we are certainly glad we have it. It does all that it advertises it will.

I use a piece of Reflectix cut to the inside side of the winshield, then lower the front shade. Works great and is cheap.

Reflectix*at The Home Depot

I took Bubbles recommendation of the Quickshades and ordered before my trip to Myrtle beach this summer. I definately noticed a difference in less heat coming in the front window. Also nice to look out and see what is going on vs looking at my powershade.

Have you thought about attaching this to the bottom of the power shade when it is in the up postion? Just a thought.

In order for the Quickshade to work, it needs to be attached to the windshield. Also, probably too heavy to hook to the powershade.
