Remote Control Window Treatments That Actually Make it Dark in the RV Bedroom at Noon.

As avid RVers, we’ve used several different kinds of window treatments over the years. From old fashioned fabric curtains to aluminum blinds to the more modern pleated day/night shades we’ve used them all. I don’t care for the aluminum blinds because they make too much noise, and the pleated day/night shades are better but they still let in too much light. Here Christine Franks shows how a scene from your RV window looks with a typical day/night shade (top) compared with the MCD motorized shade (bottom). The bottom view is with the day time MCD shade. Motor Coach Design has the next generation of RV window treatments available now. These are the new American Duo shades that are being installed as standard equipment on many new 2008 motorcoaches. The dark shade is the daytime shade and the white opaque shade is the night shade (that will effectively block out sunlight as well). These shades allow you to see out but prevent others from seeing in. They are electric and use either a wall switch or a remote control. When the sun goes down, just hit a switch and the shades come down. You can install these yourself, just give them the inside measurements for your RV windows and they will custom make them for you.Satisfied customer Bob Handren recently had these installed in his motorhome and he said, “The improvement in privacy is wonderful as the screens make it impossible to see in while it is daylight - they are even quite good at night. Plus, no more putting up and down of exterior screens as they are all inside now and easy to get to.” MCD is located in McKinney, Texas and you can call them at (800) 804-1757 or check out their website where you will find several other RV items of interest.
