I have a Magne Shade, my tip is how to store one in the bag they give you. For the from windshield shade I use a large pool noodle. I taped small pieces of metal to noodle where the magnets make contact to the noodle. This allows the shade to be easily connected to the noodle and then roll the shade up around the noodle to prevent creases in the shade. The smaller shades can then be laid on top of the large shade and connected to the magnets to keep them from getting creases.

We were really on the fence about buying Magne Shades for our own coach before we got to hang out with you guys and help put your shades up. There were two things that changed our minds:
1) The temp difference with them up was so significant that you could really feel it, and it was only 92 degrees the day we were with you.
2) You can see through them from inside, but not from the outside.

We ordered ours the day you put your shades up. We’re getting them next week, so they’re taking around 8 weeks after order.

Thanks so much for letting us be part of putting them up! I had my arms outstretched holding two magnets in place on the driver’s side window and Allison told me I looked like I was hugging Ruby!

Phil, I can save you some HEADACHES. I pull the wipers out FIRST. I cut a pool noodle to fit the height of the front shade and lock my pole 1 foot longer than the pool noodle, the noodle fits the pole perfectly. Slip the pole in the passenger top pocket and roll it to the right, keeping the pole level. The shades will pop off the magnets as you roll. Leave it on the pole. Putting it up, start in the top driver magnet and all along that side and roll to the left. Put the wipers down last. I always d`o them alone and never have a problem. I LOVE THEM. I put reflectix up between the windshield and inside NIGHT shade it there is nothing to look at. No heat.

No No No... start at the corner and then grab the other corner and boom.... all done!!! Great video!!!

We use pool noodles to store our magneshades inside the storage bag. Keeps the shade from getting folds and creases in it, which keeps the material in top condition. If you can, store them all on the same large diameter pool noodle. Just lay them out flat and stack them before rolling them up on the noodle. Word to the wise, dont roll them up on gravel as the stones often can be magnetized and stick to the magnets in the shades. We use a picnic table or a paved patio/road surface. Hope to see you on the road.

We are on our second Foretravel and both times, we opted to go with "Shade Pro" covers. We purchased our front window and both sides including covers for the wipers for under $350. Work great and would do it again! No magnets, just turn buckles. Yes, you have to use a ladder, but I can put mine up as fast as you can by myself. No matter who you decide to use, they do help in the heat department for sure. It also helps when you have 3 airs on a 40 foot coach! No sweat here! I did look at Magna as well as several others and price came into play, plus the magnet issues, etc. Thanks for your articles and sharing with us all. Even though we have been full time now for 9 plus years, we are always open to new ideas and features. Hope to see you both down the road one day. Heading to Florida after wife's knee surgery heals!

Easy way to mark it is with Dry Erase markers on the inside of the window. Then you know where the inside magnets go. Have someone on the outside and one on the inside, Place the bottom center first, attach the shade outside and mark inside where the magnet goes, then stretch up to the top, , then right and left sides, then corners.

Last time I was in AZ we had to get even more extreme than the Magne Shade. I bought a truck awning and two tall camp poles, I put it from the top of the cab with suction cups. It shaded the fiberglass nose cap & windshield. Worked great.

We use a pool noodle to roll the shades up for storage

Didn't know this type of shade existed! Thanks guys - really appreciate your info.

Love our Magne Shades! We are in far Northwestern Montana, todays forecast high 66!

We have had our Magne Shades for a couple of years now and YES it is worth every cent we spent on them. On a really hot day we will use them along with our RV shade to keep it cool inside.

When I get my coach one of the first stops will be go get Magne shades // for the heat I drink a homemade "brew" I make a weak peppermint tea using 1/2 oz. peppermint and 1 pt. water. Add the juice of one lemon. Cool in the frig when severing add ice and you can add a sprig of fresh mint if you have any. Drink freely to avoid the debilitating effects of heat.the lemon juice is good for you and the mint will make it feel cool going down.

[danieldean]

Thanks for the video. We had our drivers side, passenger side, door and kitchen bay windows tinted. That made a big difference. Especially living in Central Florida.

We LOVE our MagneShade!! ❤️ Best thing ever. 😁

I purchased my coach new in Jan 21 and drove it directly to Ft. Myers, FL for 10 weeks. My site faced South. It didn't take ver long before we saw "Magna Shades" on other coaches in our park. Needless to say we ordered one very quickly. Our coach was so new, they needed to make a pattern. They were awesome to work with. They had us take a few measurements and we had our brand new shade within a week! Could not be without it in extreme heat or anywhere with sun hitting directly on the windshield.

[harterbob]

We had ours installed at the Magne Shade factory in Mocksville, NC. Our 2018 Allegro RED required additional exterior magnets for the windshield, one at each corner. We only purchased the windshield shade. It does a great job keeping the heat out. We had purchased the tire covers at the Tampa Supershow last year.

Have had ours for about 6 months now. Definitely cooler than before inside the coach which helps protect our dogs. We use the top corner on one side install and it now goes on pretty quickly. Use a pool noodle to roll them up and store them in a pouch we ordered at the same time. We also love that you can see outside during the day, but don’t forget that means others can see in to your coach at night. Still need to use the privacy shades!

Had Magna Shade on our 1st RV. Ordered another one for our new RV. Definitely a game changer in our opinion. Expensive but well worth it. On top of that, their customer service is top notch !!!
