RV Awning Sun Shade Screen 8 ft x 12 ft 3 in (American Flag) - UV

Our review of the RV Awning Sun Shade Screen 8 ft x 12 ft 3 in (American Flag) finds it best for RV owners who want a quick, visual upgrade that also cuts heat and UV exposure. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of an eye-catching custom flag design with a functional black mesh that blocks about 86% of UV while still allowing an open view; that balance of privacy, heat reduction, and visibility is what sets it apart from plain screens. Installation is simple and the kit includes stakes and bungee balls for a ready-to-use setup.

Key Features

• Custom USA flag design: Gives an immediate visual upgrade to the RV awning while keeping a patriotic look without sacrificing function.
• High UV block: The mesh blocks roughly 86% of UV, which helps lower surface temperatures and protects skin and eyes when seated under the awning.
• Open view mesh: The fabric still allows outward visibility so occupants can see outside while maintaining privacy from passersby.
• Easy install and dismount: A lightweight fabric and included poly-cord make it possible to slide the screen into the awning roll bar in minutes and remove it just as quickly.
• Wind reduction: The mesh design breaks cross-wind force effectively, improving comfort especially when paired with side shades.
• Complete kit included: Comes with three sets of plastic stakes, bungee balls and a storage bag so you have everything needed for typical setups.

Who It's For

This screen is ideal for RV and camper owners with a 13 ft awning (measured center of arm to center of arm) who want both style and function; the finished fabric measures 8 ft drop by 12 ft 3 in length, designed to fit most major awning brands such as Dometic (A&E), Carefree, Lippert, Fiamma and Solera. It suits travelers who value quick setup, UV protection, and improved privacy while still wanting to enjoy an outside view.

It is not the right choice for someone who needs a custom fit for nonstandard awnings like Girard models, or for customers requiring a fully opaque blackout screen. If you need an exact brand-specific replacement measurement beyond the stated finished fabric size, verify compatibility before ordering.
