RV Awning Sun Shade Screen 8 ft x 17 ft 3 in - Cool Shade for 18 ft

Our review of the RV Awning Sun Shade Screen 8 ft x 17 ft 3 in finds it best for motorhome and trailer owners who want a quick, effective way to cut sun and heat while keeping a view. The single biggest reason to buy is its balance of strong UV blocking and visibility: the fabric blocks about 86% of UV yet still lets you see out, so it reduces temperature under the awning and increases usable outdoor time without feeling boxed in.

Key Features

• UV protection: Blocks roughly 86% of UV to protect skin and eyes while allowing daylight and an open view.
• Cooling effect: Lowers temperature under the awning so the shaded area stays noticeably cooler on hot days.
• Wind reduction: Breaks cross-wind forces to create a cozier sheltered space when paired with side shades.
• Easy install and remove: One-piece, lightweight fabric with plastic stakes and bungee balls included for faster setup and takedown.
• Compatible sizing: Finished fabric measures 8 ft by 17 ft 3 in and is designed to fit most 18 ft awnings using arm center-to-center measurements.
• Brand warranty: Comes with a 3 year warranty for added peace of mind on durability.

Who It's For

This shade is ideal for RV and trailer owners who want a low-effort way to reduce sun and heat at campsite entrances and under awnings, especially those using widely sold awning brands. It suits people who value airflow and visibility as much as sun protection since the mesh maintains an open view while shading.

It is less suited to owners of awnings that do not use center-of-arm measurements or to those who need a fully opaque privacy wall; the mesh is designed for shade, cooling, and partial wind reduction rather than total blackout or heavy storm protection.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective UV block and cooling, with users reporting up to roughly 10 degrees lower temperature under the shade.
• Fast and simple installation with included stakes and bungee balls makes it convenient for frequent setup.
• Durable feel and value for money; holds up well in wind and light rain according to owners.

Cons

• Designed for 18 ft awnings using center-of-arm measurement and not compatible with some specific awning models, so buyers must check fit first.
• Mesh does not provide full privacy or complete rain protection for harsh weather situations.
