Do the pre 2021 320s have the very dark front screen? It is much tighter weave and has horizontal bars every 5 inches. The total effect is its more difficult to see out of than the sides. Why wouldn't it be the same as the sides? While cooking in hot weather I want to see out.

One thing I know for sure is that the front screen and shade are a bit harder to open and close due to the curve. But, I recently learned on a "Travels with Delaney" "tricks" video that a good way to open/close the front shade/screen is to lightly grasp (or "cup") the back side of the shade/screen with the tips of your fingers while you simultaneously hold the metal frame with your thumbs on the edge facing you (i.e., hold the frame with both hands about a quarter of the way in from each side) and move the metal frame up or down.

NuCamp must have changed the design specs on the front window screen for 2021 .
I have heard of some complaints with some campers partially "melting" the front screen material while cooking , and the pre 2021 front window blind and screen has always been a little tricky to slide due to the curve . I use the same technique as @Bayliss retract the screen on our 2019 . (just "cupping" the screen with your hand to gather the screen as you retract it works great ).
I think Nucamp is trying to correct a few of the problems with the 2021 front window perhaps .
EDIT : Just checked pictures of the 2021 320 front window screen and it IS definitely different from the pre 2021 320's . The screen material looks a lot thicker/stronger/darker , and more horizontal bars were added for support .

With as hot as it gets there, I was expecting the new more opaque screen would handle the heat, apparently it still doesn't. This must be a common problem how are others handling this?
