On our previous Hymer we had a Hinderman thermal screen cover which was excellent. It fastens to the body with heavy duty press studs. Now we have a newer Hymer, the Hinderman doesn't fit as the newer version are slightly different shape.

So what I'd like to know is, after looking at Polar screens, they attach to door and window, but won't this break the rubber seal around the door and window letting water in if it rains ? and also deform the seals ?

The other type is Taylor made which apparently uses a track bonded to the body, has anyone got these ? as I'm erring towards this type.

We have a Hymer (Conventional Mercedes Sprinter front end, fitted with internal Remis blinds)
We have a Polar Screen, which as you say has a couple of 'triangles' that fit over the top outside corner of each door.
(Triangles are bigger if you have internal Remis blinds)

It works.
It does not compress the rubber seal, as it's only material, not a hard plastic.
If the van is parked nose down, and there is heavy rain, and the drips happen to be coming off the roof over the door, then yes, it can leak.
But we also get a leak into the EHU locker, which is nothing to do with the cover.
Therefore I try to always park 'stern down' if rain is expected, and have all water on the roof exit over the back.
