- With temperatures in the triple digits
all across the country,
we thought it was time to do a review
on our new Magne Shade.
Today we have removed the Magne Shade
and now we're gonna pull down all the day shades.
And we are starting off with a dash temp of 84,
and that's with us just having removed the Magne Shade.
- We've got a lot of sun hitting the front of the RV today,
so today should be a good test
to see what our sun shades inside can or cannot do for us.
I'm just watching the thermometer go up
as we've taken off the Magne Shade.
- What I like best about these shades
is the fact that I can still see outside.
That was my priority.
I hate feeling like I'm in a cave
like we did when we were in the heat in Vegas,
when we had to keep the ship darkened, basically,
just to try to survive.
- Yeah. And what I like about them,
Sorry, there's some folks working next to us.
What I like about them is
there's no rivets attached to the front cap.
They're attached via magnets
on the inside of the windshield.
So it's out of sight, out of mind.
You put them up, you leave the magnets and you're done.
It's been 30 minutes,
so we're going to actually move the thermostat
on the inside of the sunshade now,
just to see what we're getting through the sunshade.
But first I'm going to temp the dash on this side.
It's saying that it's 92
degrees
on this side of the sunscreen.
Now, let me raise this up,
pull this.
It is 112.8.
We started at 84.
- In 30 minutes. - In 30 minutes. 112.
- [Stacy] That's a lot of heat trapped
beside that windshield.
- Yeah, that's a ton of heat,
and I can feel it.
Standing here, I can feel it coming through.
And my Govee alerts on my phone kept going off
because it exceeded my threshold for comfortable temps
for when we're gone with Gizmo in here.
Automatically, it's already coming down. 111, 110.
It says it's 76 in the room right now.
We set it at 75.
We'll see when it cycles off
because it hasn't cycled off since we started this
a half hour ago.
- We decided, when we purchased our Magne Shade,
to get not only the front window
but also three of the side windows
where most of the heat comes into the RV.
- The front, as you know, in a classic motor home,
this is where most of the heat comes in,
so, you could see behind me,
we've got it on the driver's side window,
and you can still see out.
- Now, the cost for this,
I know you guys are all wondering, is not cheap,
but, for me, I believe it's worth it.
The price for the front windshield was like, what?
630? - 675.
- And then each of the side windows
were between 175 and 225, based on the size.
Now, the benefit is
this company actually cuts each one
specifically to your window measurement,
so they are custom to your RV.
- 30 minutes on the inside of the sunshade
and we drop to 90 degrees.
90.8.
That's a significant drop from 112
with it on other side of the shade to the dash side,
so you could tell this is doing some work
but I can feel the heat up here,
unlike with the Magne Shade.
When you unbox your Magne Shade,
it's going to come with everything you need
to include these magnets.
And I gotta tell you, these magnets here are pretty strong.
The white spacers in between
really keep them apart from each other
so they're easy to take off.
If you don't have the spacer on it
they're really, really,
I mean, they grab on pretty tight.
- Ask us how we know. - Yeah. Yeah.
If you have dexterity issues,
this might be a bit of an issue,
but it could also be a great workout.
- Or, in the case of Phil,
it could make sure your language is still very colorful
at times.
- Yeah, I did dust off some sailor words.
- Oh,
and thanks, Bruce and Tim, who are a part of our crew
that were hanging out with us that weekend.
Bruce actually pulled out his camera and started videoing
because, at the time, we were feeling lazy
and we weren't planning to do a review.
- And we didn't know he was recording.
So that was even- - Yeah. He did surprise us.
- a better benefit.
If you can wait until you have two to three people
to help you put it up, it'll speed things up.
You'll use less sailor words than I did.
I guarantee it.
All right. Hold on.
Hold the magnet. - I got it.
- It'll only go to the side.
It wouldn't go up up.
All right.
Can this one go up?
Where you at?
Can this one go up any higher?
- It'll be underneath here,
and you can't get to it.
(Phil speaks indistinctly)
Yeah.
- All right. Come down here.
Over more? - Yes.
- It's all the way over. - Okay.
- [Bruce] That actually sits really nicely
when it's tight.
- Yep.
And it's just all about
getting the magnets in place. - In the right place.
- As wide and as high as you can go without,
Because then you gotta take the back off,
stick it to the magnet. - Oh, to make it permanent.
- Yeah,
because if I pull that off, the magnet's inside all fall.
- But it looks good, huh? - That looks really good.
- [Bruce] It looks really good.
And The thing that surprised me, Phil, is from inside,
how much you can see out.
That, I wasn't expecting.
- And you can see that much in now,
and just imagine, so you can see from the side, the light,
but when you put them on- - Once those shades are on,
you're done.
- These four magnets here, obviously,
didn't stay on the window.
And you can see, the shades come with magnets
already sewn into these little pockets,
so the magnets attach to them.
It makes for hanging it pretty easy.
Now I'm probably gonna struggle to take these off.
Actually, it's coming off pretty easy,
and then I'll replace it with a new one.
I'm going to clean this off,
just to make sure it sticks good.
And, of course, these are two sided.
So put this one on.
And then I'll repeat for the other three as well.
I'm going to rehang the Magne Shade
where I think the magnets should go.
When we first did this,
we put the magnets on the back
and then we just set it up here
to fit the magnets to the,
Or the Magne Shade to the window
so that we got even coverage,
and then we pulled the magnets off.
All right. So that's what I'm going to attempt to do now.
If I peel the back off
of the two-sided,
3M tape,
and then I put this magnet up on the window,
press it in nice and firm.
Give it some good pressure.
And then I'm just gonna peel this one off.
Now the deal is, when you put these,
When you first put the magnets on the window,
you have to let them sit for 72 hours
so that they cure
without the weight of the Magne Shade on it.
I'm doing that now.
And then after 72 hours, you can hang them back up,
and they should be good to go.
Now these, on these side windows, that are in
the driver's side window that slides,
the magnets are a little bit thicker to meet that gap
in depth.
- The temperatures are dropping quickly.
Okay,
not as quick as I expected
with my, non-scientific, experiment here,
but they have come down quite a bit.
- They have.
We started out with 112 degrees
behind our sunshade,
the rig's sunshade, with nothing on the windshield.
112 degrees.
And you could feel the heat standing here.
Now we've put the Magne Shade back up.
We've got the temperature down to 87.
The temperature outside is rising.
It's
92 outside,
and it's steadily getting hotter.
And we're at 87 on the dash.
The ACs haven't cycled off yet
just because, I think, it's trying to-
- [Stacy] It's catching up. Yeah.
- [Phil] But it's at 76.
It's holding at 76 and we've set them at 75,
so I'll say that, from my point of view,
The Magne Shade is well worth its weight and gold.
- We'll do this again
because we never would've gotten that hot to begin with
had, Oh, there's little hummingbird.
- Yep. - Sorry.
We never would've got that hot to begin with.
And we would be lower right now
if we'd started with the Magne Shade
from the very beginning.
- Right.
Because it would've,
I mean, it would've stopped that heat
from coming in initially.
We know we let in a lot of heat when we were,
When we were trying to figure out
if the Magne Shade was worth it or not,
which it is, in our opinion,
- So we're just gonna show you how simple it is
to put up and down.
- Yeah. Be prepared to laugh. (laughs)
- They would only be laughing if it was me jumping.
So we're going,
We're gonna stand in the heat, just for y'all.
Obviously, Phil does not have a problem taking it down.
- [Phil] No. - The only thing, really,
is the windshield wiper blades.
Super easy.
- [Phil] Yeah. It comes off really nice.
- [Stacy] You know Phil, this drives him crazy
because the magnets all stick together
and he feels like it turns into a big mess.
He wants it to lay flat all the time.
- Yeah.
Because putting it back up or stowing it
takes some time.
You have to, You gotta be careful with it.
- [Stacy] All right.
Now we're gonna show you a one-man mounting.
That sounds really horrible. - Whoa, wait a minute now.
We're gonna show you- - One person putting it up
and then I'll show,
I'll help him out and we'll put it up again.
- Yeah.
let's go with the one-person show.
My pro tip is
to order the second pole when you place your order.
It does come with one
but you see here, I have two poles
so I'll be able to pull it up.
This, hopefully, will make it easier,
to put it up with two poles
because then you can just pop it up there,
get it close to the magnets.
Well let me just show you. - Let's just do it.
Yeah. - Let me just show you.
Hold on.
I lost it in the sun.
- [Stacy] I know. The sun is super bright.
- Oh, the magnet...
- [Stacy] And the magnets are crazy strong.
- There it is. Boom.
- Oh, it looks like two is much easier than one.
- Yeah.
So,
boom.
See? Look at how it's just grabbing as you put it up.
Using it in the sun, I can't see it.
There we go.
Boom.
So they're up there.
- This time I'm actually gonna use the pole with it open,
because, the time before, when I was all alone,
I couldn't get it to open.
- Grab the center one.
There you go.
Or the end one, closest to you.
- All right. And up it goes.
- Come on. - I'm folded. There it goes.
Where's it at? - I don't know.
Go more that way.
Go more to your way.
(magnet snaps)
- There we go. - There we go.
All right.
- All right.
- Now we could,
Oh, - Fix it.
- Now we can flip it up.
There we go.
- All right. My work here is done.
- Now we go through and take my wipers out.
- Because we need to hide all the sun,
because it is still in triple digits at 5:00 PM.
- It is a hot one.
- Before we go any further
I just wanna say we are not affiliated with Magne Shade.
We paid for our Magne Shade
and we aren't getting anything out of this review.
This is just a honest review of us
and what we think about the Magne Shade.
- [Phil] So if you wanna buy one, go ahead.
If you don't, that's fine as well.
- What I thought I'd do today
is show you how we are actually using our Magne Shade
to the best benefit.
You can see I have our day shade down on the front
and the Magne Shade is on the other side.
Now, the other day, at this time,
let's see what the temp is really quick,
it was a couple degrees cooler
and it was 112 in the center of these two shades.
So let's see what it is today.
It is 88 degrees
instead of 112.
That is a huge difference.
I'm going give it another 30 minutes
and we're gonna see what the temperature is
right here on the dash for an even comparison.
- [Phil] But when it was 112, the other day,
we didn't have the Magne Shade on.
- Correct. That's why I'm comparing the two.
You can see, with the Magne Shade,
there's not nearly as much heat trapped
in between the windshield and the first shade.
All right.
This is the very last part
of our little, non-scientific, study
that we have rolling here.
I removed the thermometer
from in between the Magne Shade and the day shade
and the temperature has dropped significantly.
30 minutes later, it is 84.1 degrees.
And if you remember from yesterday,
it was 90 degrees here on the dash without the Magne Shade.
That is a huge difference when we're talking numbers.
The dash is actually cooler than the outside temperature,
which is not easy to do,
with glass on the front of this motor home.
Just like in a car, it heats up really fast,
so I think it's, definitely, a win for us.
And this is the first time in triple digits
that we've ever had our AC cycle on and off
throughout the day,
so, for me, it's totally worth it.
Now, if you're wondering what the Govee is
because we keep talking about that,
that is actually what we use
to keep an eye on the temperature in the RV
when we're not here
so we can keep Giz safe.
And I'll link a video down below
where you guys can get more info on that if you have pets.
It does hook up to wifi and your cell phone.
That's it for our Magne Shade.
Our question for you is,
what are you doing to stay as cool as possible
while our country is breaking all kind records
all over the place?
- And don't state the obvious like, "Get out of the heat."
(laughs)
- Everybody's tips are helpful
as everybody reads the comments,
so please drop one down in the comments
and let us know what you're doing.
In the meantime, I hope you received our newsletter today
because we had some amazing news
and I'm worried if you didn't get the newsletter,
you might be missing out
because we have limited availability.
If you have not joined our newsletter yet,
make sure you join.
The link will be down below.
Because you never know what's gonna be happening,
and you need to go to the newsletter to figure it out.
- Because we have a lot of stuff coming down the pipe
for the remainder of this year and next year.
- That's right.
And if you're in the newsletter, you get first dips.
Well, really, the "Someday" crew gets first dibs
and then the newsletter,
because a lot of things we do now, because we're so large,
we have to limit our availability,
so join the newsletter.
We will see you next week for our live video
and you'll get the news there.
- And I know now some of you're going,
"What's this insider crew? What's this 'Someday' crew?"
We have a huge gathering,
in that I would say- - Community.
Community. - Community. Yep.
It has been thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyable to do that.
And, tell you what, if you're looking for your RV community,
join the crew.
Get over there. See what it's all about.
I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
And don't geek us too much.
This was unscientific,
remember that. (laughs)
- Yeah, I did not use any of my nursing
things that I've learned for a scientific study.
It definitely was us totally winging it.
And, for the record, it is 5:05 on Friday.
And we are wrapping this thing up
to get it out to you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
This is, I think, the latest, in a very long time,
that the video was not up and ready to go.
- So pray our wifi does not let me down,
and I have this ready for you by 10:00 AM, Saturday morning.
- Yeah.
And for those of you that have just found us,
it's about time.
We've been waiting for you.
And those that have been with us for a while,
we appreciate the support,
and we can't wait to see out on road.
