Silver Screens Empty Silver Screens

Post by Dave 418 Thu Jan 31, 2013 5:03 pm

scratch head I know this subject has been on the forum before but I think I have been talked into Silverscreens own product for for my front screen cover. I know people have there own opinions but what swayed me was the offer of an internal screen for the sliding door window.
I didnt realise the Duetto only has a mesh screen on that door, Autosleepers snook that one on me. Any way Silverscreens did ring me back as they said they would. Yes they are more exspensive than Taylormade but the offer of the other screen may have swayed me.
The van we hired last sumer had the stick on internal screens for the front, yes they must work ok if they are the right ones for the van and not have gaps in all the corners and fall of in the night. tap_fingers Any way any coments would be welcome. think_smiley_46

Hi Dave,

I can thoroughly recommend Silver-screens ...... very fast & friendly service up!

We have been away all of January (plenty of ice & snow), touring in our '97 Clubman (VW T4) using their external screens, and have not suffered any condensation at all allthumbz

Have not had any dealings with 'Taylormade' so cannot comment !!

Good luck and happy touring smile!

Brian

Another vote here for silverscreens super fast delivery placed order over the phone one morning and had my screens the very next day up! Tried taylor made twice and the first time they said they had none in for my van rang back a month later they said they had been to busy so i went with silverscreens.

Yes, another vote to Silverscreens, the guy who runs it has a motorhome sales business a well. He is nice, but a little bit 'sure of himself' very good customer service though.

Taylormade seem totally backward as if they are run by someone in their house or something, they told me that they outsource their screen manufacturer to their ladies who work from home/do it in their spare time!

So it seems that there are just 2 companies making these things & both as a side line, I'm surprised no big manufacturer has picked this up.

smile! Intresting response so far, thanks folks. I found the guy at Silverscreens very helpfull. I think I had made up my mind very early on about the suplier. As yet due to the wheather and other comitments we havn,t used the Duetto overnight. Any thoughts or coments from other owners about the side door screen that was offered. We both would prefer to use the blinds on the other windows rather than curtains even though they are fairly thick material. The people we bought the van from put blinds on the roof lights as part of the sale . The only curtains we would use would be the back doors. We have a holiday some were warm beachball this month then we will be on our way at the first chance we get. cold After a couple of very cold holidays in tents and trailer tents we look foward to blown air heating and living above sogy wet grass. I am to old too sleep on the floor sober. drinksallround

The silver screens always look well made and fit well from what I've seen, my only gripe is they have no online ordering which seems really old fashioned when this is how most of us buy stuff these days shrugg it was for this reason we ordered a set of covers from Taylormade instead, shame really.

We have had 3 vans and have only had Silver Screens and for the last 2 Solar Screens for summer use. We have always gone over and picked them up and have had no problems.

Our bike rack cover however came from the opposition, Taylormade for the reason I thought they were a better quality material although a bit dearer - I have not regretted that decision in the last 4+ years so cant say anything wrong about their products also
