Shade RV Questions

Was wondering if anyone has purchased a Shade RV roof canopy for their Cedar Creek wide body, their product comes stock at 8' wide. Any input would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Eddie

Never heard of it before now. Not for me, I wouldn't want all those tie down straps wrapped around the corners. Things move too much in the wind. Cool idea.

Interesting.

Might have value for a full timer stationery rig but nothing I'd want to use for weekend and even week long trips ---- too much setting up. Plus it's pricey ----- $1040 for a 34' unit.

very interesting indeed!.....those with solar panels need not inquire tho (which is just about all newly manufactured RV's today).

I am a full timer as this is my home away from home when I visit Orlando. The summers are brutal in Central Florida and I like the concept of keeping some heat off the roof but today read some bad reviews on their Facebook page. Maybe get a site under an oak tree in the shade.

Just another gimmick to get you to spend money.

As it regards gimmicks I always ask myself what else I could do with the money that has more value to me.

I've been reading a few threads on them on Facebook groups. Owner reports seem to be about 50/50 as to if it really helps or not.

Where you staying in Orlando? That's my home stomping grounds when we aren't out RVing.
