Dulepax RV Awning Shade Screen with Zipper 8' x 13'3" — Heavy-Duty Knife-Coated Mesh for UV Blocking & Privacy

The Dulepax RV Awning Shade Screen with Zipper (8' x 13'3") is a second-generation sun and privacy screen that installs into most 14' awning rollers to reduce sun, glare, and visibility while keeping easy access with a zip-off lower panel.

This upgraded awning screen is built from a knife-coated curtain mesh used in high-end hospitality applications, delivering a tighter weave than many competitors for improved UV blocking and privacy. Designed as a universal fit for popular awning systems (Dometic/A&E, Carefree, Lippert, Fiamma, Solera, and others), the kit arrives with all installation hardware and a simple polycord feed method that slides into the awning roller tube. The zippered lower section lets you open or close the bottom portion quickly for ventilation or access without removing the whole screen.

How does this awning screen reduce heat and sun exposure?

The denser knife-coated mesh significantly lowers the amount of direct sunlight and UV reaching your living space beneath the awning, which helps reduce glare and makes sitting outside more comfortable. The smaller hole size in the weave blocks more rays than many standard RV screens while still allowing airflow.

• Tighter mesh weave for increased UV attenuation
• Large 8' drop covers full-height entries and windows
• Maintains breathability to avoid trapped heat
• Helps protect interior furnishings from sun fading

What makes the zipper feature useful for camping and travel?

The integrated vertical zipper gives fast, tool-free access to the lower section so you can open a portion for pet entry, pass-through items, or added ventilation without removing or rolling up the entire screen. It makes short stops and variable weather conditions easier to manage.

• Zip-off lower panel for quick access and airflow
• Can be adjusted depending on weather and privacy needs
• No need to detach the whole screen for brief access
• Durable zipper built for outdoor use

How simple is installation and what hardware is included?

Installation uses the lightweight screen and included accessories: polycords slide into the awning roller tube and the screen is tensioned into place in minutes. The method avoids complex brackets and fits most standard awning profiles when sized correctly.

• Complete kit with polycords and mounting hardware
• Slides into roller tube—no special tools required
• Typical install time is only a few minutes
• Designed to fit 14' awning profiles when ordering shorter than frame length

What size awning does the 8' x 13'3" screen fit and what should I order?

The screen drops 8 feet from the roller and measures 13 feet 3 inches long, intended for use with awning frames around 14 feet wide. For best fit, choose a screen length slightly shorter than your awning frame length as directed—this prevents binding and ensures smooth rolling.

• 8' drop covers tall entries and windows
• 13'3" length suits most 14' awning profiles
• Compatible with Dometic, Carefree, Lippert, Fiamma, Solera, etc.
• Order screen length shorter than awning frame per instructions

Who is this for? The Dulepax RV Awning Shade Screen is aimed at RV owners and campers who want increased privacy and sun protection without sacrificing airflow or convenience. It’s especially useful for those with 14' awnings who want a quick-install solution, pet-friendly access, or a higher-performance mesh than standard screens. If you value easy setup, improved UV blocking, and the flexibility of a zippered lower section, this screen is a practical upgrade for travel trailers, motorhomes, and seasonal coach use.
