semi truck windsheild shades

Last year I saw someone who covered their dome in those aluminum window shades. They said they got the ones used for semi trucks that were nice and big and they put them all together and added a swamp cooler. It was awesome.

Last year we built a dome which we were all very proud of, but this year we want to spruce it up even more.

Does anyone know where I could find those semi truck sized window shades?

Thanks! :lol:

Yes, truckstops. Love's, Pilot, Flying J, TA ... almost always in stock in summer.

Mylarry has a number of them, when truckers quit and clean out their trucks they toss them into the company dumpster. I don't think he's paid for any of his. We have sleeping bags out the ears lately too; three in three weeks, plus coats, blankets and milk crates.

You can also get it in bulk from this place.

Is it the same as this stuff?

Solid aluminet is very reflective and tough, if you can find it in the usa.
Silvicool is available.

I am contemplating getting a couple of rolls of that from Home Depot and covering the outside of the camper with it. It is surprisingly well insulated already, but every little bit will help for sleeping in late this year.

The solid aluminet dome was stunningly bright until it was coated with a layer of dust.
Still nicely reflective.
Very surreal look.

If you happen to be in Joplin, Missouri...go to the Petro Station. Is the Toys'r'us for truckers.
