Dulepax RV Awning Shade Screen 8'x17'3" — 2nd‑Gen Knife‑Coated Mesh with Zipper for Improved UV Protection & Privacy

This upgraded awning screen replaces typical coarse mesh with a finer knife-coated curtain fabric used in premium hospitality textiles. The tighter weave reduces visible holes by roughly two-thirds versus many competitor screens, which improves sun shading and limits sightlines into your RV living area. It ships as a complete kit with polycords and fasteners so you can slide it into an awning roller tube and adjust or remove it in minutes.

How does this screen improve shade and privacy?

The Dulepax mesh uses a much smaller hole structure than standard awning screens, decreasing light transmission and sight penetration without adding heavy weight. You get better daytime shading and a more private exterior living space while still allowing airflow.

• Knife-coated curtain mesh for denser weave and smoother appearance
• Smaller apertures block more UV and visibility
• Lightweight construction keeps awning balance and function

Can I customize airflow and access with the zipper?

The integrated vertical zipper lets you open the lower portion for breeze, pets, or to pass items through, or zip it closed for full privacy. It’s designed to be operated quickly so you can adapt to changing weather or campsite needs.

• Zippered lower section for easy partial opening
• Smooth slider designed for frequent use
• Option to fully remove lower panel when needed

How simple is installation and removal?

Installation is intentionally straightforward: slide the included polycord into the roller tube and seat the screen; no heavy hardware or permanent mods are required. The kit is lightweight so taking it on and off takes only a few minutes with one or two people.

• Complete accessory kit included for plug-and-play setup
• Slides into standard awning roller tubes for most 18' profiles
• Quick slide-on/slide-off process—typically under 5 minutes

What awnings and sizes does this screen fit?

This 8' x 17'3" screen is designed for an 8-foot drop and a 17-foot-3-inch fabric length, matching most 18-foot awning frames. Order a screen length slightly shorter than your awning frame for correct fit and smooth rolling. It’s compatible with common manufacturers such as Dometic (A&E), Carefree, Lippert, Fiamma, and Solera.

• 8 ft drop by 17 ft 3 in length—fits most 18 ft awning profiles
• Recommended to choose a screen length shorter than the awning frame
• Works with major awning brands without modification

Who is this for: RV owners who want an easy, non-permanent upgrade to increase shade and privacy under their awning. It’s especially useful for travelers who value quick setup, adjustable ventilation, and a cleaner, more hotel-like mesh texture. Ideal for families, pet owners, and anyone who spends extended time outdoors and needs flexible protection without altering the awning hardware.
