Kroger sun shade options

[joshmck]

I’m purchasing a new RV12IS and need to order a Kroger sunshade. Can anyone shed some light on which size is best and why? We live Phoenix so obviously a lot of sun. Thanks for any advice

The KOGER SHADE TU-WIDE is what I have. You definitely need the wider one.

I have the Extended Wide Tip Up and appreciate every bit of it in the summer. Adjusting is very easy so there does not seem to be any issue with 'too much' coverage and visibility. You'll stop seeing the longer rail.

Thanks! That helps

Too much is never enough.

The canopies on our planes are cookers.

I have the Wide Universal. It works well. I still use a couple of these around the edges when the sun is low, or coming over my shoulder from behind. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWRWBRGB?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

I am in PHX also. I'll DM you, to see if you want to see one before you order.

Be sure to order the tip-up version, not the slider. I know a guy who ordered the wrong one.

Thanks everyone on this. Gonna finally order one today? Can anyone tell me if there is a benefit to having the extended wide as opposed to just the wide? Is the extended used just for parking or do you use the extended while flying?

I have the extended wide and have been glad for every inch of it at one point or another. The extended portions are useful in the mornings and evenings when the sun is low in the sky. Not so much a matter of heat at those times, but keeping the sun out of your eyes at what are the most annoying angles to me.

You can see in the picture below that you still have plenty visibility to the sides. The leading is so natural and easy to adjust that it's never a visibility issue, you just reach up and slide it back if you feel like it is.
