*A lot of viewers have really enjoyed for our videos and have ask if there was a way to buy us a Beer. TH-cam now has a ‘THANKS’ button under every video, Just click the button.* 😀 *It’s not required or expected, but it is appreciated. THANK YOU!*
Best video yet on the install process - - nice job. I’ve had mine in the package for the last 6 weeks waiting for the weather to get a bit warmer. One thing I didn’t receive (didn’t realize, maybe I had to order it?) was the extension rod to put them up. I’ll call the manufacturer today.
Got them installed and looks great. Thanks for the video details! And YES, having two A’s even separated by the small washer/spacer is a challenge to separate.....ask me how I know..LOL. Safe Travels and stay safe.
I might add, if anyone does get them “stuck” together, a putty knife or similar will separate them. Any VHB tape that gets damaged can be replaced with the extras. Our coach was noticeably cooler with just the windshield shade in place. Thanks again!
@@GetGonewithUS I miss gang green man! I'm from Western MA, you know us New Englanders stick together. We just bought a magna shade too and this video helped me understand what it takes to do the install. Looks pretty easy.
Seems nice but quick question. Do you see the magnets while driving? I would think with a full window like that, anything in the window would be a nuisance. Do you eventually forget they are there?
Liked the video and glad to see your attention to detail which is the way I am too. Also like your unscientific testing method. I read the comment about blowing off in high winds. Maybe there should be a grommet at the bottom corner to where you could tie a cord around the outside mirror to keep it from blowing away if you're away from Maggie and don't have someone to retrieve it for you. Maybe suggest that to the company or they may have a better suggestion. Who wants to take it off on a hot summer day in anticipation of high winds or rain while they're away. Kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it.
Thanks, Carl. :) We used the Magne at every campground on our 5 1/2 week practice run. There were a couple of really windy days and nights. We thought about the comment mentioning it blowing off, but it held firm. Not sure if it is the tight curve on the sides of our windshield or not, that holds it tighter. Of course the side widow shades stayed on too. My problem with a grommet and a tie strap is if the wind is blowing that hard, there are magnets sewn into the shade. I really don't want the shade beating against the paint in the wind. RV's don't have the best paint job on them to begin with.
I loved the video. We had Magne Shades on our last rig and really liked them. One thing I did when I would take the windshield one off is to fold it almost in half, so the magnets wouldn't stick together, and then roll it up on a pool noddle. It worked great and made storing it very easy. When I rolled up the side windows I put the wiper covers inside each of them to help keep the magnets from sticking together. Keep up the great videos and thanks for sharing.
Thanks James! That is exactly how we do it when we store it, pool noodle and all. While we were on our 5 week practice run though, we just laid everything out in the back of the Jeep, moved to the next campground and put it back on.
Guys, that is a great addition. Love the way they go on and off so easy. I will have to come back to this video. The privacy and shade from the sun is very well worth it. Thanks for sharing this and have a great week.
Thank Tim! We really like shades and were a little shocked by the difference in the temperature readings. We knew it got hot between the windshield and the RV shade, but didn't know it got that hot.
No, they are probably not strong enough to go through the window and the MagneShade. We have had ours on since 2018 and driven over 10,000 miles since installing them and have never lost one. 😀
Good morning. Things are looking up for you two. When are you departing NH and starting FT? How do you like the shade? What dimension did you give for the windshield?
Hi Art, the Magne Shade was worth every penny. So easy to put on and take off. I called them and if I remember right, it's been a while, I went with their dimensions. I tried measuring, but had questions. Make sure you call them instead of using the website and tell them you are a veteran, I got a discount for it. Tell them you saw our video, we don't get any kickback from them, but they use our video when their customers have questions. We do intend to do a another review on it, now that we have used it for awhile. House goes live on the market next week. Realtor says their are 11 people in line already to look at it. We'll see, it's not sold until it's sold.😃
Great Video and great product. We also use the Magna Shade and our only issue has been high winds. We have had our windshield Magna Shade blow off twice once in the middle of the night during very high wind (I should have know to take it down but didnt) at Ricon Parkway in California and luckily a neighbor went outside around midnight to check out the wind and saw our Magna Shade on the highway and got it for us, the second time we were away from the campsite in town when a sudden rain storm blew in in south Texas and another neighbor happened to see it blow off and went out in the rain to retrive it. We have decided to take them off if the wind is expected to get over 30 or so as they are to expensive to replace if we actually lost one. Have you heard of any solutions to the high wind blowing them off the windshield or is taking them down about the only solution?
Thanks Bob! This is the first we are hearing about them blowing off during high winds. We know people take them off during rain storms. Maybe we'll err on the side of caution and take them off during high winds. They would be very expensive to replace. Thanks for your comment and sharing. :)
I was wondering how much visibility you'd have on the inside and I'm impressed. How do I schedule Derrick to come out and help me? Tell him to bring a ladder.
Derek is booked solid. LOL They weren't that hard of an install. We are impressed ourselves with the shades, we love the visibility and privacy, plus the amount of heat they cut back. :)
Great video and thanks for sharing, I never knew about these and will have to look into them as an alternative to the press stud type for my future RV. :)
I love the test you did with the temperature but I'm really surprised the Magne Shade didn't block more heat than that?! I'm considering ordering because we're in Texas and need to block as much heat as possible but for $595 do you think it's worth it for heat blocking or is it more of a privacy shade?
We bought it for the ease of installing and removing. We also bought it for privacy, we love having the view out the front window without being on display ourselves. LOL THe heat that gets blocked is just a bonus. We would buy it again. 😃
@@GetGonewithUS Awesome! thank you so much!!! I agree and would be great to not have the big shade down all the time just to privacy; the service from the guys there has been awesome too, one call yesterday and I was provided a bunch of great resources (videos and measurement guides) to make ordering easier... I have a "bulkhead" which makes the interior magnet placement unaccessible but they knew the exact remedy!
Hey Folks, Really enjoy all of your videos. Just a quick question, I was curious what purpose do you think the wiper shades facilitate? Can't wait to follow you on your adventures and live vicariously through your lens. Happy Adventuring!!
Thank you, we are glad you are enjoying the videos and look forward to taking you guys along this journey with us. The wiper shades are supposed to help slow down the premature aging of the wipers due to the UV rays coming from the sun. They are included with the windshield shades, so we'll use them. :)
Thank you! As far as I know the only place you can buy them is directly from the company. magneshade.com/ They are on the pricey side, but after using it on our practice run, we love it and feel it was worth it. We don't receive anything from them if you buy one, but would still appreciate if you told them you saw our video. :)

Yes they are and thank you! 😀
Great video on installation. Better than Magne Shade installation video
Thanks Richard, we appreciate your comment! 😀

Good Luck with your install. We got the extension rod with ours. 😀
Great video to watch as we are getting ready to order ours. Thank you 😊
Thanks. Good luck, we love our Magne Shade! 😀
@@GetGonewithUS :). Ordered it today :)
Got them installed and looks great. Thanks for the video details! And YES, having two A’s even separated by the small washer/spacer is a challenge to separate.....ask me how I know..LOL.
Safe Travels and stay safe.
Way to go, Tom. We know about separating them too. LOL
I might add, if anyone does get them “stuck” together, a putty knife or similar will separate them. Any VHB tape that gets damaged can be replaced with the extras. Our coach was noticeably cooler with just the windshield shade in place.
Thanks again!
@@tomhayman6553 Thanks for your tips, Tom. They might be of help to some people. :)
I just bought a full set and this was very helpful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful Randall! 😀
Hi Guys, thanks for the more detailed install. We just got our set but will have to wait for warmer weather to do ours. Excellent!
HI Tom! You are welcome. We really like ours. 😃
Go Celtics!!!
First one to notice the shirt. LOL
@@GetGonewithUS I miss gang green man! I'm from Western MA, you know us New Englanders stick together. We just bought a magna shade too and this video helped me understand what it takes to do the install. Looks pretty easy.
Do you have the 90% Standard shade or the darker 94% shade material? Which material would you recommend?
When we bought ours there wasn't a choice on shade material.
How do you like your Magne Shades by now? Also have you had to replace your Black tank flush backflow valve?
Love the Magne Shade. We wouldn't own an RV without them now. A bit pricey, but worth every penny.
Seems nice but quick question. Do you see the magnets while driving? I would think with a full window like that, anything in the window would be a nuisance. Do you eventually forget they are there?
They have never bothered us. They are close to the edges and not in your eye view. Like you said, it’s a very full sized window. 😊
Liked the video and glad to see your attention to detail which is the way I am too. Also like your unscientific testing method. I read the comment about blowing off in high winds. Maybe there should be a grommet at the bottom corner to where you could tie a cord around the outside mirror to keep it from blowing away if you're away from Maggie and don't have someone to retrieve it for you.

There are things like that to consider. Sure wouldn't want to screw anything up.

Hi guys great video. I know a few people who love these shades. I was actually surprised how easy they go on and off.
Thanks Lou. That was one of the things that made us start looking at them. Going to be very useful if we have to break camp and it's raining.
Lots of technical things to know having an RV. You always make it look simple👍 We wan't to travel around America in an RV one day!!! 🙂🙂
When you decide to do that, let us know, we can travel a bit together. :)
That would be cool, thank you!!!🙂🙂
We looked at these. It seems the hardest part of the install is paying for them ;-) You did a great job showing how easy it was.
Yes they are a bit on the pricey side, but after 5 1/2 weeks on the road and using it in every campground, we are very happy with our purchase. :)
We have one. They are great!
We really like ours too.
This item is definitely on our list of add ons! The big window is great, but the heat is not! Thanks for the demo. 🙂
You are welcome. We were surprised how much heat gets built up in between the RV shade and the windshield. I know we are going to be much happier. :)
Guys, that is a great addition. Love the way they go on and off so easy. I will have to come back to this video. The privacy and shade from the sun is very well worth it. Thanks for sharing this and have a great week.
Thanks John. We are very happy with it. The other benefits by using magnets there is no holes in the RV and no ladder necessary after the install. :)
Great job C&C and the shade installations look really cool......... NICE!
Thank Tim! We really like shades and were a little shocked by the difference in the temperature readings. We knew it got hot between the windshield and the RV shade, but didn't know it got that hot.
Would the magnets for the driver side and passenger work inside as well. I would worry losting one on the road.
No, they are probably not strong enough to go through the window and the MagneShade. We have had ours on since 2018 and driven over 10,000 miles since installing them and have never lost one. 😀

@@artboudreau Thanks Art! 😃
Are there any discounts for FMCA etc?
All I know is they give discounts for veterans and disabled veterans. You would need to call and ask about other discounts. :)
