This is a small upgrade to what I found as an annoying problem:
At night with the roller shade pulled down over the entry door I would have to roll the shade backup to exit the coach and then pull it back down again when I came back in. When traveling with a dog this was nuisance. I wasn't sure it would work that well when I was making it, but it works great - wish I had done it years ago.
Because the shade doesn't need to go down as far as before, I cut off the excess length (on the inside of the roll - attaches with staples) and used the scrap to cover the plywood hood that covers the roll. I bought new side attaching roller brackets at Home Depot. I had to shorten the roller width by a couple inches and trim the vinyl with scissors lengthwise.
It takes a little bit of planning to make sure the box clears the wall frame when the door swings open
wow! Great idea on the shade modification, and great pictures to boot. May need to add to the list of mods for this fall. Lpve how easy it was to use email notification, then click on link, see your post with all the pictures included in post.
Great Modification. - Thanks for Sharing John!
Great new Foretravel message board. Thanks for making this possible Steve!
I like this too. Often take a walk in the late evening and the shade is usually down. Seems like to much putting it up and putting it back down and then up again just to step out side.
