Hi,Our previous campervan had Reimo screens with which we had no trouble at all. The suction pads were transparent.
However we now have a new camper and because the cab curtains were intrusive we removed them and bought a set of screens from Just Kampers. Almost immediately the pads started failing and kept falling off. Just Kampers advised us to put them in hot water assuring us that this would solve the problem. No such luck! The pads in this case were grey and stamped JK.
In desperation we sent off for a set of Fiamma pads which arrived today (also grey and stamped Fiamma). My husband tested them out this afternoon and within a few hours 4 had fallen off.
We are going away this w/end and hopefully things will improve.
Can anyone shed any light on this problem?
Where can one buy the transparent type of pad?
Help please. This is becoming a costly business.
Thanks in anticipation for your replies.
Alex

If it's for cab screens, I assume the window is glass. Is the window treated with something for some reason eg anti-glare, which might sto it sticking?  If not, have used some type of spirit like meths to make sure there's no grease on the window?  If no joy, I would return the screens as they are not fir for purpose ie will not stick up.  Hope you get sorted.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.

I think this is quite a common problem.  Look here:

There have been some discussions on Just Kampers as well, but the search isn't working at the moment, so I can't post a link.
