Looking for a nice quiet solution for the side cabin window shades. I just installed a pair of 60 in pull down/ lift up shades. ' They are bad.. Noisy on the road and the strings have loosened up. Coming out. I would like a pull down only set, and looking for recommendations. Before my wife installs new header/covers.
Thanks as always.
Just turned the bus around to start installing the fans . BTW.

Thanks, Are these quiet on the road?
Depends,
They provide you will little dots that you need to install on the end of the shade that touches the metal window frames. After I got mine spent a little time getting all those dots lined up right, but good to go now. I have the manual dual shades (sun shade and blackout). The sun shade is mounted on the inside next to the window. Had mine mounted at MCD in McKinney, TX. There is another brand out there, don't remember (shade pro?) MCD has been bought out by Lippert I think, as tech support now rolls over to them.
We had shade Pro's installed a MOT a couple of weeks ago. We are very happy with them.
Mine are AutoMotionShade put on just before I bought the coach and they are great.
They look like the other brands. Windshield is power and the rest are manual.
Mike; we purchased the Shade Pro ones on Amazon and installed them ourselves. Both day/night shades. Both work great and no noise going down the road ever! RV Awning Shades & Accessories Online | Shade Pro (http://www.shadepro.net)
I have some of the original day/night shades available should you decide to not do the upgrade. Cheap Jim

We used, did, shade Pro install is simple, although memory serving, there video made it look more complicated than it was. We have the 2 roller model inside pull down lets in light see out. Outside roller is dark out.
they were a tight fit under the valances but it worked out.
They pull down & stop where u want them, or go up although going up u can give a tug down take your hand off they will go up in a controlled manor.
Could not be happier.
Noise if u drive with them down obvious the bottom pc will have to have some felt sticky s where it can touch.
NO problems after up & down etc. over maybe 1-1/2 yrs.
When we bought them, $200./window from biggest to the little kitchen. Delivery was within 2 weeks. Houston.
Don't think am allowed to post pix but, if U want think have them someplace among the great grand kids million pix.

Update : DW hates the roller style shades. Reminds her of her childhood room with the pull down rollers.
She likes the pleated thingys and the RV versions have string anti noise stabilization post at the bottom to maybe eliminate the road noise.
This part of the bus is her domain . She's working on custom valences to cover the ex fluorescent(now led) lights and the shades.
Thanks for your help as always. Mm

What led lights did you install to replace the under valance fluorescent lights? Our are half burned out and would like to replace them
