    Bug Banner - front cap protection, sun shade, bug shield

    https://buggbanner.com/

    Anyone use this or anything like it?

    I'd like to keep the sun off the dark paint of my cap when stationary and more importantly the bugs off the cap from traveling.

    I know there is diamond shield like products but we had that on our newmar, not sure I'd pay for it again and it wouldn't do anything for the sun.

    Anyone use this, seen it or otherwise have an opinion?

    I was all set to buy one then my wife pocked me in my fat belly and said no way, I needed the exercise that scrubbing bugs gets me. Plus it's kind of like a zen meditation thing, bug off, wax on, bug off, wax on. You don't see the karate kid hanging precariously off of a ladder doing his wax on wax off thing, bug cleaning is so much better for me.

    It probably works fine but I don't think I would use it travelling. My concern is more the sun while in storage.

    We just purchased a Bugg Banner about two months ago. We traveled through FL last year and the love bugs took a toll on the decal so we decided this was worth the investment. I worked with Preston and he was very responsive and helpful, even on the weekends. We ended up with two banners, one to leave on when stored and the other to travel with. Our though is to leave the one with their logo installed when stored since the sun would take a toll on it faster and we'd use the non logo'd banner to travel with. We've traveled a short distance with it and it stays tight on the cap. They have some pretty good videos and photos on their website showing how it works while traveling. Our unit is shown on their website it's in the first row second photo, black truck.

    I would recommend getting a second person to help with the install. It was a bit trying installing it by myself with the wind fighting me, but I got it done.

    Awesome, really appreciate your feedback. I'm going to get one.

    I think that's a pretty cool idea. And I'd be into it. But I'm not into it at $329. That's insanity.
