Why would you bother looking for the best motorhome windbreaks? Well, you are all set up on your pitch, relaxing with a well earnt glass of something & a chilly breeze comes along, taking the edge off the day. If you had a simple & easy way to block the annoying breeze, life could go back to perfection.
When Would I Use It ?
I have a wind out awning & safari tent, so do I really need a windbreak ? The simple answer is yes.
Safari tents are brilliant & effectively give you a whole room outside, as do drive away awnings. They do take a bit of setting up, especially safari tents & so for short stays, when touring around they are not that practical.
Also I like to be out in the sunshine or under the shade of my awning & not be so enclosed. Sitting under the awning as the sun sets, is great as it stops the dew landing & with my chiminea, it stays warm.
UNLESS there is a cooling breeze & then all of the above scenarios, are not so pleasant.
A simple windbreak, set up to block the annoying breeze, now seems like a very good idea.

Aluminium Frame
Windshield Pro
The Windshield Pro is lighter, more expandable, more secure and more stable than its rivals.
It has a patented frame system that has been designed with one job, to do the job & do it right every time. One of the patented parts are the connector at the top of the leg support poles. This simple fitting firstly locks the leg support pole in place, it also strengthens the top bar of the windshield making it stronger against the wind and even helps stop the bars moving in the wind.
Windshield Pro can be slid into an awning channel (which can be fitted to any motorhome) allowing you to come directly off the vehicle.
The frame system locks itself in place making it easier to erect and more sturdy when in use. A unique frame system means no guy lines are required and the entire frame system can be placed on one side of the windshield ensuring you have absolutely no trip hazards and you get to use 100% of the available space.
It can be extended with a door, an additional panel and now a weather shade giving you an amazing amount of options. The Windshield is designed to go right down to the ground and with its additional pegging points held down making a secure and safe place on the inside, perfect for pets and children.
The new Expert Edition features the new super sleeves / dog guard, which gives you better connection to the ground. Sleeves act as a mud wall and draught skirt giving you better draught exclusion. It allows you to use additional top
cross poles (purchased separately) as a dog guard feature.
The dog guard feature creates a solid bar across the bottom of the panel ensuring your pet cannot push the material out of the way as it is held firmly in place with the
solid aluminium bar.
This bar can also be used to help anchor the windshield to hard ground. It allows you to use ladder bands or elastics (purchased separately) to form additional pegging points that can be used easily and effectively even on hard ground.
