An update on our shade install. The shades have performed perfectly this last season. Hands down, this is the best upgrade we could have done on our coach. No more driving down the road with the side curtain deployed trying to stop sun from coming in the side window (and having it slide too far forward blocking the side mirror whenever we stepped on the brakes). No more driving holding a brochure with one hand to block the sun from our eyes. Would not consider having a motorhome without MCDs on the windshield and side windows now. I see Winnebago now includes the windshield shade but still uses the hated curtain for the side windows. If you get one like that, ditch the curtain and install the MCDs on the sides. You'll be glad you did. Have yet to blow a fuse with my switch arrangement so I doubt I'll bother with a relay lockout scheme for the switches. We ended up painting the trim wood a beige to match the ceiling vinyl. We're happy with that decision. I have since removed the useless visors you see in the pictures.
