DIY Rain Guards for your screens

In our old RV I had bought rain guards for our windows so we could leave some windows open for ventilation while in town and not have to worry about a rain shower while we were out.  So in my search for some of them I learned they stopped making them in 2014.  Here is my first attempt at making my own.

These are made out of cardboard which I had around the home front.  I will try them out for the summer, may add white duct tape over them so they will survive a rain shower or two.

 In the above photo you can see my DIY insert with two vents open, I can just slide the window down and they close.  The cardboard just fits in between the window and screen which gives it strength.

Here you see our biggest window by the dining table, white tape would make this one look a lot better:)  For this one I have to slide open the screen and either take the guard out for travel, or to close the vents then the window for travel. 

 Here I am trimming the cardboard to fit the window these are very easy to make and hopefully use for the summer.

Finally I cut in the vents which I hope will allow air in and keep rain out, at least most of it:)

6/20 update.  I have added one to our slide out bedroom and white duct tapped them all so they are some what water resistant. These along with vent covers over our three roof vents have increased air flow several times over in rainy weather, without running the AC.
