    James, when is Winnebago going to offer an Ekko with the Fit RV options.

    Very clever! And far superior to what is commercially available. I hope you got a patent. Especially on your screen door that's not a screen door.

    Thank you ever so much for your hard work, your selfless dedication to thorough research. Your results: reflective + insulative batting and insect screen combo the best of all worlds and only after you've spent HOURS and HOURS doing different trials (zip from bottom up on screen makes the most sense, but who would have initially thought of that?). Wonderful...what positive contributors you two are.

    I too used a thermal gun on my windows to determine the best insulation for my situation. I have reflectix between the window and my covers which are comprised of felt with air gap, but sewn together with heavy weight corduroy upholstery fabric

    When you mentioned proper installation of reflectix but didn't follow up on that, I went on my own tangent and still found confusion from different sources.
    I would love to see your video on proper installation since this one was VERY informative.

      @Dirt-Diggler 11 місяців тому

      Because glass absorbs heat so it gets hot 🤔 ?
      Mind you it'll be even hotter with the screen fitted as it can't dissipate that heat to the cooler air inside the van, but then I guess that is the whole point of the screen, insulation
