Hey All;

Three of my day/night shades have failed and I was getting tired of
raising and lowering them anyway. Has anyone installed an electric shade of
any kind? Would just like to do this remotely if I can.

Gary,

A couple of years ago I was parked next to a Prevost at an RV park in the southwest, the Onan was playing up and I was tinkering
with it when the Prevost's owner wandered over and said Hi. He noted that the GMC was a great looking unit. He asked what I was
doing and I noted that the Onan was giving me a bit of bother. He noted that he was having problems with his Prevost as well. The
computer that controlled the raising and lowering of the shades was on the blink and it would be a couple of days before a local
shop could fit him in to look at it.

Regards,
Rob M.

I have this mental picture of a guy pressing buttons to try to get the channel to change, and the wife asks why he keeps raising and lowering the shades.

Hi Gary,
I want to recall that Jim B at the Coop installed electric blinds in the 26 ft diesel he built. My initial search did not produce any results --
