Dynamax provides both a windshield and cab side windows shade. It is silver reflective and rolled up. Double check in the master closet. That is where I’ve seen it in most new units.

Has anybody come up with a drape system that you could just pull between the cab and coach portions?

RV Sunscreens

I've used this company for about 4 motorhomes now. He has templates for most companies, I'd be surprised if he didn't have a Dynamax pattern.
They are sunscreens so you can see out in the daytime but no one can see in. Good quality and fair prices with a unique way to fasten them on w/o a ladder.

Took my DX3 to an RV interior design shop that is a dealer for automotion screens. They stated that due to the overhead design of the M2 that is I believe Freightliner design that the screens could not be installed. That sucks. They were also very rude because it isn't a class A.

I'm still looking for another option on the front windshield privacy issue. A thought is maybe a pleated curtain that opens to the edge of the windshield and has a magnetic catch in the middle. 2 curtains that stick together. If that makes any sense.

BTW I found my stock screens under the main bed.

Where are or how are and where are you attaching these?

We don’t like the big bulky things that came with 2017 SUNSEEKER 2400W.
Difficult to put up...big and bulky. Second requires a lot of space to stow.

We are going on our first trip tonight in our Isata 4. It is our first class C and my wife is not happy that there is no privacy in the cab. She has been calling around all of the RV stores in Denver and no one has them for the E-450. Is this an uncommon request? Are they supposed to come with the unit?

ADCO makes a very nice exterior windshield cover for the E-450. See Here. Several on line retailers sell them. I used one on our E-450 and they fit very well. It worked great while the rig was in storage as well as when camping.

For interior reflective screens High End Motorsports is a excellent source. They have both the windshield and side window covers. See Here.

Hope this helps....

Aluminum side frame

They roll up and store in a nice bag. You take them out of the bag, Press the suction cup onto the M.H. unroll the screen across the windshield position and stick the other suction cup on the far side. No ladders and you are done. Ditto for the side windows. Easy to put up on a class A, not sure if it would be easy on a Super C. I recommend you call the guy in Florida and ask him if he does them for Dynamax.

Magne shade makes a complete sun screen type shade. These use rare earth magnets to attach. The kit comes with both fromt and side window covers.

I have a tension curtain rod that I use just behind the seats. Easy up easy down. We also have windshield cover made by ShadePro. They measured our coach to use a pattern. The cover fits like a glove and keeps the heat factor down. Also keeps the air conditioning in.

What kind of coach do you have and does the windshield screen offer privacy at night too?

We have a 2017 DX3 36FK. As with all windshield covers that block the sun you can see when the lights are on, therefore the use of the curtain, if needed.
