Power shades

Yahoo Message Number: 14900
Larry: I checked around several places for power shades. I found some at Carefree Colorado booth in Quartzsite last year. I use two 36" in the front and a manually operated on over the driver window. You can custom order the exact size and color you need from them Not cheap. Around $250 each for power and $150 for manual. I lucked out and bought two of each. All for $100. Couldn't pass it up even though the color isn't exactly what I wanted.
Wiring isn't easy. You can access the area by removing the TV. I ran the wiring down the windshield pillar and have the switches on the dash.
In my opinion, they don't need to cover the entire area, just the major window area. They are far superior to the acrylic jobs that came with the rig.
A friend with a brand X MH has the control for the passenger side over by the passenger seat. IMHO the driver needs to have control of both.

Wow! $100 for the whole set! What a deal. I thought I saw remote control ones somewhere. This might make the wiring easier. Just find a power wire somewhere and I should be good to go. Thanks for the input.
