Our silver screens are an essential addition to winter motorhoming but we have often thought it'd be nice if they let in more light. The fold down front and privacy panel are all very well but still make for a gloomy cab.
Pondered long and hard and have come up with the following simple modification, bought some 50mm wide velcro cheap on Ebay and had the wife cut and sow what is in effect a velcro strap I then fitted this along top edge of screens with entire front panel removed, the privacy panel which normally sits in top half we've moved to the bottom fitting the strap across the top to keep the screen sides taught.
Result is a much brighter cab, any manufacturers reading maybe you should consider offering this as an accessory or whatever there could be interest!
Pictures show front panel removed with privacy panel refitted to lower half of screen and strap across the top.
Pic 3 is view from inside without flash to show light level improvement pic 4 is with flash which actually is truer to light level improvement.
Hope this is of use to anyone wanting to have more light.
