October 3rd - New Sunscreen

When the Brave is parked on our spot in La Peñita, it faces south, and doesn't have much shade, so it's important to have a windshield cover to keep out the sun and the heat.  A windshield sunscreen is made of mesh, so you can see out during the day, and still have some privacy (you close the inside windshield curtain at night).  It attaches on the outside of the windshield with twist grommets.  I found a company in Arizona that makes sunscreens, but they said due to the parcel size and shape, UPS was the only option for shipping, but with charges in excess of $100 US, and an uncertain time line of delivery.  Continental US shipping was $10 US, and brother Bruce had a shipping address in Pembina, ND, so I had it manufactured and shipped there.  The parcel pickup business was out at the airport in Pembina.




Bruce and I took a run south to pick it up, then I took the Brave to Stylings RV to have it mounted (drill/screw the twist grommets into the appropriate locations).


It's funny, Pembina is only an hour south of Winnipeg, but there's no doubt it's America...
