Topic: Insulated window and skylight covers (Read 1748 times) previous topic - next topic

Any suggestions on where to get the best insulated window and skylight covers?  We'd like ones for the cab doors that have screens on them as well.

I don't have any suggestions, but just be careful about using the skylight insulator on a hot day.  The heat gets trapped up in the dome and can damage the skylight over time.

I've wondered about that. Is it really a thing? I've had people swear by those inserts to block the heat. But it seem they are just trapping the heat in the gap between the skylight and the insert. Will it warp the skylight?

We have been using insulated covers in our Bigfoot SuperC for over a decade.  We place bubble foil over the Styrofoam that we wedge into place.  The silver reflects the light that comes in.  The space above our sun shade is much cooler using this insulation than without.
Our Wonder finally goes into production next month but we have already ordered window coverings from VanEssentials, crazy expensive for what they are but we tried them at our local Ford dealership and they fit really well.  They are insulated only. Bug screens are available separately but we are not sure of those as they won't work with window visors which we usually install. 
As for the skylights, Pagosa Supply seems to have the nicest product that we have found...we may make our own as these are also crazy expensive.
Once we finally take delivery of our unit we will figure out the coach windows.  On our SuperC we have bubble foil fitted for every window.  These make a huge difference in comfort and our Bigfoot can be used down to -20* so it is insulated far superior to a LTV. 
However saying that we are giving up that feature to try the more nimble LTV so we don't have to tow our Jeep.
As my wife says "anyone that comes from the prairies knows how to chase the sun"
Anyone want to buy a 32 foot SuperC?

This fit nicely in my bath skylight, 2019wFtb.
