What dealer skirting can run:Thousands.

This is the story of why.

RV skirting installed in the field — the moment the fabric snaps taut

The shade was simple.
Attaching it wasn't.

01The Beginning

Ray Waddell ran a shade and awning company. He was good at it. But every day he watched the same scene: a homeowner or RV owner would want a simple exterior shade — something to block the sun, cut the energy bill, keep the interior cool. The shade itself was inexpensive. The installation wasn't.

Drilling into an RV sidewall risked leaks. Screwing into vinyl siding voided warranties. Every surface — fiberglass, aluminum, stucco, brick — demanded a different approach, a different contractor, a different price tag. Homeowners and RV owners paid hundreds — sometimes thousands — to install shades they could hold in their hands.

The question was simple: what if you could bond a fastener to any surface — without a single hole? What if the homeowner could do it themselves, with no tools, no contractor, and no appointment?

The EZ-Snap fastener — patented cap-and-pin mechanism

The answer took years. Waddell experimented with adhesives, tested snap mechanisms, and field-tested prototypes on hundreds of real installations. The breakthrough came when he combined 3M™ VHB industrial adhesive — a strong, weather-resistant bond that still removes cleanly — with a proprietary cap-and-pin snap.

A fastener that could be attached and removed infinitely without weakening the bond. No tools. No training. No risk.

"What if anyone could do this — without a contractor?"
Ray Waddell— Founder & Inventor

In 2006, EZ-Snap began shipping that fastener as complete kits — direct to the people installing them, on home windows and RVs across North America. The adhesive held. The snap engaged. Two decades later, it still holds.

02The Patent

One fastener that changed everything.

The EZ-Snap fastener uses 3M™ VHB industrial adhesive. It bonds to fiberglass, aluminum, vinyl, plastic, and glass without a single hole. On wood, stucco, brick, or concrete, the included self-tapping screws lock it down just as securely.

The patented Cap & Pin system allows fabric to snap on and off infinitely — for seasonal changes, cleaning, or repositioning — without ever damaging the bond.
