Windscreen Sunshade


I'm wanting to buy a windscreen for my Iveco MH. I went to Autobarn today but they only have small ones for cars. The type I want, and have seen on other MHs, covers the front windscreen and both passenger and driver's side windows. Any ideas where I might buy one ?  Probably an online store would be more convenient as I could order it and have it delivered. I'm looking at an overall length of 3.35 meters by 750 mm high. Any advice would be appreciated.

 My brother just purchased some for his Ivec/Sunliner motor home, I will get the company where they purchased them from and let you know.

Thanks very much for all the info provided.

Jules, I have contacted topgear2go and awaiting a quote.

Patrolst, be interested to know where the Sun Shield was purchased. I can then compare prices.

 

Thanks again all...Ken.

BG - I think you will find "topgear2go" cheaper than that! They do the front and side ones - or can any configuration or size made to order I believe.

 Jules, if it's not too much trouble, could you please post a photo of the screen on your Fiat. There seems to be a big difference in price. You quoted $180.00; Patrolst gave me the e-bay link. The price is $319.00. Mickm and Sheba gave me Solarscreen. The latter quoted $350.00 and call it a "Cab Set".  What I am looking for is in the photo below:

I don't think they would have a gold lining. Its a shame some consider the items are too expensive, I just thought it may have provided you with an alternative to consider at least give a price comparison

But my brother is happy with the size and quality of the ones he purchased.

He got the Passengers door, Drivers door and Windscreen.

Sorry BG - got new system on my computer, and haven't worked out the photo bit yet - but top gear2go have photos on their web site, I am sure - I got the front screen, which comes in two parts, with a cut out to accommodate mirror, and two side parts. The front screens just sit on the window, they have an aluminium strip down the middle to give support, and held in place by sunvisors. The side ones are shaped to fit, and have small pieces of Velcro. I have seen the ones that cost over $300 and they are good, but we are very happy with what we have.

We have some silver roof insulation left over from building the shed .

I cut some to fit the windscreen inside the LC . Works well .

 No problem, thanks anyway. Yes there are some photos on their website and looking thru them more thoroughly I can see the windscreen shield in on photo and door windows in another. I have e-mailed them back for more detailed photos. This looks like the one I'll go for.

For the benefit of those GNs who maybe considering the purchase of a sun shield, I'll share my decision with you.  I purchased an extra large windscreen sun shield from AutoBarn for $15.00. It's held in place by 2 suction caps and the normal swing down shades. I then ordered sun shields for driver's and passenger's doors from Topgear2go for $40.00 each plus postage $36.00. Total outlay $131.00....Thank you everyone who gave me input...
