Title: Magne Shade on U300
Post by: Hans&Marjet on March 31, 2015, 05:59:02 pm
Received our Magne Shade today  :D
Followed the install instructions and what a great quality product....take a look...
Immediately noticed a drop in temps inside the coach and my dash top is way cooler..

Good money spent IMO.

I purchased ours in Quartzite two years ago. Don't recall how much we paid for it but do remember that they do not give them away.

I saw them at FMCA Pomona, I recall hearing something around $500.

I'm considering rolling my own from super magnets and solar screen sold at Home Depot,

You and Rick need to get together and start a business - solar shades and tow skirts What did you do to your coach today. Tow skirt (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=14321.0)

Thanks for the plug Michelle but I'm having too much fun to be bothered with WORK. I will say that after 30K+ miles of towing the tow skirt is as good as new.
 If anyone is interested in super magnets I suggest the neodymium magnets found in computer hard drives or e-bay. They are the most powerful magnets I have experienced.

Neodymium | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.TRS0&_nkw=Neodymium&_sacat=0)

You can get some great rare earth magnets on Amazon (Applied Magnets® 10 Piece 1/2" x 1/8" with Countersunk Hole Neodymium Disc... (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I473MPQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)) for very reasonable prices, amazing strength.  I'm particularly happy with the ones that have a countersunk hole to screw them to a surface.  Ideal for keeping things attached to walls and for invisible attachment points. One of the projects on my list is a new cover for the kool-o-matic vent that attaches with rare earth magnets and has a layer of insulation between layers of some easy to clean fabric. :-)
