I posted pics of these in a previous thread, but just gave them the "smoke test" this past week. I spent the week on Canyon Lake(Central Texas) with lots of sun and upper 90s for temps. The site was not as shady as I remembered it, so there was a little morning sun hitting it, lots of midday sun, on until around 4PM. I had set the thermostat on 75 last Sunday when I got set up and never touched it all week. The trailer stayed a nice and comfortably cool all week and the AC compressor actually cycled off and on like it was supposed to. My 277RL only has a single 15K BTU AC. All in all, I think the screens were a worthwhile investment and they sure open up camping opportunities for the summer.
The screens are not a cure in themselves. I had also done a lot of taping on plenums and ceiling registers so my loss of cool air into the ceiling is practically non-existant.
