Good job.

I made some for the outside windows of my Class C when I was in AZ. They really kept the temps down inside when the coach was stored. The wind would take them off once in a while so they migrated indoors where the shades would keep them in place. Not as affective because the sun warmed the glass and aluminum frames, but still way better than without.

Also, not that you need to change it, but in the aisle where you would buy reflectix at HD or Lowes, there is a silver foil tape that is invisible when applied.

Very nice. And thanks for the tip about the "invisible" tape, eric1514.

I just got back from camping in 100 degree weather. I'm going to built some of those soon. The foil tape can be used to reinforce the edges, also. The reflectix will de-lam after a while if you take it on and off a lot so the tape helps it last.
