Next question..Silver screen (external cover..)

Silver Screens is a brand name, as are Taylor Made. Both very good quality products, make a huge difference in Winter/cool weather to keeping MH warm. We have Silver Screens, can recommend, they fit like a glove round both doors and across screen. You can get some that cover fresh air intake as well. Another tip if you tour in Winter is to buy a small oil filled radiator, and use this to heat cab area when seats are turned round. Cab Area is often a bit of a cool spot, but if really cold, we find that just having this little radiator plugged in keeps whole van just nice overnight. About 18 inch square, we paid £19.99 for one from Dunhelm. Persevere contacting Silver Screens/Taylor Made, they are very busy. You do need to quote make and model for fit!

Edit: both companies are based in Yorkshire, one near Sheffield other I think is Wakefield, so you could ask to visit. We were going to collect ours, but they arrived day after ordering!

Excellent informative post above, please take note.

Ours is by Taylormade and both they and Silverscreens produce excellent products which do what they're supposed to. Well worth the investment. 

You order by your base vehicle type and they fit with Velcro etc depending on the model.

We have Silver Screens, one of our best buys for the Motorhome. We found that the customer relations at Silver Screens were, to us, far superior than Taylor made. Having said that, they are both very good products. We use ours all year round as they make a big difference in hot or cold weather.....Don't make the mistake of buying cheaper products as you will end up buying twice, my friend bought a cheap cover and it lasted about three trips before tearing, think it was a maypole?.....

PS... We have had our Silver Screens for four years. Still as good as new...

The biggest advantage of these two brands of exterior screens is that they insulate and prevent condensation which interior screens do not.

Kdee, look around the classified ads and the likes of eBay. You might strike lucky.

Will endorse what Tinwheeler said, we had an internal screen to start with, but the condensation on the windscreen and dash was unbelievable. We got rid after two trips....

Thanks TW for adding links! Don't be put off by slow response to phones or emails. Both businesses are of the " small warehouse" type, and certainly when we contacted them they were just so busy sometimes the phones went unanswered. But the products are top quality. Prevent condensation as well. Roll up into bag provided, dry quickly if it rains, and very lightweight, so no load issues!

We also recommend Silver Screens, very good and quick delivery.

We have a Taylormade external screen and it has proved to be excellent. One advantage of Taylormade is that they make a longer version which covers the bonnet vents thus preventing water running off the screen into the engine compartment. I think with Silverscreens you have to buy an additional cover to achieve the same? Before buying have a good look at both websites in the links provided by TW above.
