RV Awning Sun Screen Shade 8ft x 16ft3ft' Fit for 17ft Awning - Cool

In this review of the RV Awning Sun Screen Shade 8' x 16'3'' the bottom line is straightforward: this mesh sunshade is best for RV owners who want fast, effective shade and UV protection without losing the view. Installation is simple and most users can set it up in minutes, and the fabric blocks roughly 86% of UV while still allowing visibility, making it a practical addition for camping, tailgating, or any outdoor RV time.

Key Features

• UV block and open view: The mesh blocks about 86% of UV to protect skin and eyes while still allowing a clear outward view.
• Lower temperature: The shade creates a cooler, roomy area under the awning so you stay comfortable during hot days.
• Wind reduction: The mesh breaks cross-wind force and provides a more sheltered outdoor space, especially when paired with a side shade.
• Easy install and dismount: Lightweight fabric, included plastic stakes and bungee balls, and a storage bag make setup and takedown fast and hassle-free.
• Fit guidance: The finished fabric measures 8 ft drop by 16 ft 3 in and is designed to fit 17 ft awnings using center-of-arm to center-of-arm measurement.

Who It's For

This shade is ideal for RV and trailer owners who want a straightforward, one-piece solution to reduce sun exposure and lower temperatures under a 17 ft awning. It suits people who value privacy without blocking the view and those who like quick installs for weekend trips or short stays.

It is less appropriate for owners of awnings that do not use the center-of-arm measurement or for those with Girard-brand awnings, which the manufacturer notes are not compatible. If you need a custom-sized screened room or a full zip enclosure, look for a different product designed for full enclosure.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Noticeably reduces temperature under the awning on sunny days.
• Fast to install and remove with included stakes, bungees, and a storage bag.
• Durable enough to handle light rain and wind according to owner reports.

Cons

• Designed specifically to fit 17 ft awnings (center-of-arm measurement) and excludes Girard awnings, so fit must be checked before purchase.
