Saw these last year on site in Itaaly and said that looks just what we need. Anybody got any views? Are they a godsend or another (never to be used again) piece of rubbish? What type have you got/recommend? We have a Fiamma 45s I think about 3.75m.
Awning front sun shade?

They still give you good vision looking out, but take away the harsh heat and glare of the sun.

All of the above mentioned sun shades should work - Flexishades [Broken Link Removed] the best that we tried as effective in reducing wind & sun, well made, flexible & compact to store & they can be used in a variety of ways including as a door fly screen as shown in post #2 here https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/foru...nd-out-awnings-hab-doors.227994/#post-4109117
Minster Polar, who make excellent silver screen covers, have their own version https://polartechnologies.co.uk/products/wind-blocker-sun-shade?variant=43097734938802 which may be an another option to consider as they can make variable sizes which may suit some.

That's what I fancied doing but couldn't tell whether the website was still operating or even how long delivery was so bought a full length one on Amazon that's coming today. If I can get a flexishades delivery well before my next holiday I could always send the Amazon one back.

As a matter of interest and hopefully not appearing too cheeky, as I'm currently looking at the Amazon ones, which one did you go for? TIA.

Tentproinc.com. Most are only about 6ft high. These do heights up to 8ft which allow angling it out for more room.

I was dubious about these as we only stay a few days on any pitch and want the minimum bother, but last year in Italy they would have definitely been worth the effort.

This is ours now. Tentproinc. £101 on Amazon. These are RV height which I chose so it can be angled out for more space.

We have Flexi-Shades. We have a 4m F4S Fiamma roll-out and ideally three would have been better to get full coverage. They
were sold as a pair.
Initially they look very thin but they do block a lot of the sunlight and still remain see-through. We used them every day at the recent Norfolk Show...
P.S. It was quite breezy hence the yellow tie-downs. Still someone fell over the peg in broad daylight...

We also have Flexishades
We started with two, we may get another if we need it.
(I'm just waiting for a blisteringly hot weekend on a campsite!!!!)
We find at 1.75m they are the right height, as we typically have our awning at about the 1.5m (5'6") height at the front
and always sloped at one end in case of rain, a trick we learned from the Germans!
Each panel is H 1.75m x W 1.40m
£45 each, £88 for two, £125 for three, you get as many as you need.
Flexishades are cheaper than most of the others on the market, as this is almost the only product Flexishades make and sell.
