I pulled a wire from the motor on our MCD blinds and Van repaired the wire lol I had it under the couch to install and some how the fribic was tore so I replaced the blind man they are not cheap 600 bucks for 1 shade.I like the sytem the switch is on the panel or the 1 remote you push the "all" botton to open and close all the blinds including the windshield or you can open 1 at a time,I just don't like the price of MCD's

Yep They are not for the faint of heart. We had two 8 footers that were over $1,000.00 for all four shades and that was without the motors. Ours are all non powered.

I know some people have problems with Day/Night shades, but we had them for 12 years of fulltiming and only had one string break. Mario has had the bus for almost 6 years and i don't think that he has had a problem with them. We liked them. :)

 :^ :^ And to think back now 30 years ago I use to get paid to re-string shades. Had 4 of our Hi-lo shades busted when we bought this Tub, Have restrung all of them since then. Motorized yes please I'll take those too lol!. Our windows are so high up and tinted you'd need an 8 ft ladder to peer in :D "It is what it is" ;) Solar shades anyone?  ;D ;D
 
  And yes! there is a U=tube video on restringing also for the inquisitive keyboard Warriors ;D

Yeah Ed, I am probably jaded on the strings thing. Ours were original. Probably half still worked, but 42 years old.... not bad. We watched Three U Tube flicks on re-stringing, but I was redoing valence upholstery at the time and that was a bit overwhelming - and when Rita watched the U Tube re string thing, we looked at each other and said: "Notgonnadoit" in our best George Bush accent. Look at all you can before you buy. We LOVE the sunshades we put in the windshield, They block out all light at night on the entire windshield which is nice if you are pointed at incoming traffic in a campground. But you have to have a center post with a place to mount them. In our bus they hide behind the center post and just make it to the outer edge of the windshield where velcro holds them. They take 10 seconds per side to open and fold up in a flash. BUT, I am only 96 wide and they don't make them wider so measure first.
