    Default Koger Sunshade

    A few pictures of the Koger sunshade - https://kogersunshades.com/ - that was installed in my Kitfox when I bought it.

    The rail is attached to the inside of the canopy by double sided tape.

    So far, no problems. Super easy to slide forward, backward, or position where you want it and does a great job of blocking out the sun.

    It's 30" wide and about 26" long.

    Great pix, thanks. Maybe we can get a group buy for those interested in it that don’t have it yet. In the boating world this can be 10-25% off... just an idea.

    That's a good idea.
    I like how it stays up tight to the ceiling. Since I am short but have a 3" thick seat cushion my head is up pretty high and notice that if I wear my headset it may be contacting mine.
    If there are other folks interested I think I would be in on a group purchase.

    I would be interested in a group purchase as well. I can call Koger and ask if it's possible unless someone else already has a sales contact there.

    Four of us are in and John may not have seen our reply. Wouldn't hurt to inquire but if we give it a few more days for others to see our plan we may have more to bargain with on the initial contact. Then again, if you know they will give a pretty decent discount others may be enticed as well.

    I just ordered mine before this group idea came up. I called Kroger and talked to the owner I believe, for the Kitfox SS7 it is a custom shade 34"x 25" and is rectangular in shape. They have a standard, non-custom, 34"x 25" but the front is tapered in some to better fit the RV style bubble canopies. The custom one for Kitfox is $250 (without discount). If you want the stock tapered one it is $229 I believe.
