Complete RV Awning Side Shade — Real Privacy, Real UV Protection
You've seen the DIY hacks. A mesh tarp from the hardware store, some clips from Amazon, and hope it holds up in the wind. We get it — nobody wants to drop $150 on a sunshade. But here's the thing: a tarp isn't a shade. It flaps. It sags. People outside can still see right through it. And when a gust hits? Good luck.
The iFJF 9'×7' RV Awning Side Sun Shade is a purpose-built solution. High-density vinyl-coated mesh. Double-stitched seams. One-way privacy that actually works. 86% UV block. And everything you need — stakes, bungee ropes, hooks, screws, storage bag — comes in one box. No hardware store runs. No guessing.

Key Features
🛡️ 86% UV Protection
The high-density vinyl-coated mesh blocks approximately 86% of harmful UV rays — protecting your skin, your eyes, and your RV's interior from sun damage. Sit outside comfortably even during peak afternoon sun.
👁️ One-Way Privacy Vision
This is the game-changer. People outside cannot see in, but you maintain a clear, open view of your surroundings. Enjoy your campsite without feeling like you're in a fishbowl. The mesh is dark enough for real privacy, not just "privacy-ish."
💨 Wind & Weather Shield
The dense mesh weave effectively reduces wind force hitting your patio area. On breezy days, it creates a comfortable micro-climate under your awning. Bonus: the tensioned installation actually helps stabilize your awning in moderate wind — something a loose tarp can never do.

Quick Installation — 5 Minutes or Less
-
Slide the shade into your awning roller groove — it hooks right into the standard slot on your Dometic, Lippert, Solera, or Carefree awning tube.
-
Unroll the shade with your awning extended.
-
Stake the bottom corners using the included ground stakes — angle them slightly outward for best tension.
-
Attach bungee ropes to the side grommets for extra wind stability.
-
Adjust tension — keep it snug. The shade should be taut but not over-stretched.
Pro Tip: Angle your awning slightly downward on the shade side. This keeps the screen tight against the roller and actually helps stabilize the awning in moderate wind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my RV awning?
If your RV has a standard roller-tube awning (Dometic, Lippert/Solera, Carefree, or Fiamma), yes — the shade slides into the roller groove just like a standard sunshade. The 9'×7' size fits mid-size travel trailers (18–26 ft). For larger rigs, you may want a wider shade or multiple panels.
Can people really not see through it?
Yes — this is one-way privacy mesh. Because the outside is brighter than under your awning, people on the outside see a dark screen while you maintain a clear view out. At night with interior lights on, the effect reverses, so we recommend lowering or removing the shade after dark for full privacy.
How dark is the shade underneath?
The mesh blocks ~86% of UV and significantly reduces direct sunlight. Think of it like sitting under a dense tree canopy — shaded and comfortable, not pitch black. You can still read a book or use your phone without squinting.
Does it flap in the wind?
When properly tensioned (stakes + bungee ropes on side grommets), the shade resists flapping much better than a loose tarp. The dense weave and double-stitched seams hold up to moderate wind. In sustained high wind (25+ mph), we recommend retracting your awning and shade for safety — as you should with any awning accessory.
Is the hardware rust-proof?
Stainless steel hooks and screws resist corrosion. The ground stakes are heavy-duty plastic — no rust, no sharp edges. The bungee ropes are UV-resistant elastic with reinforced hooks.
Can I leave it on while driving?
No. Always remove the shade and retract your awning before driving. The shade is designed for stationary use at your campsite only.
