Anyone use a Vista Shade on their electric awning ?

I was looking around at various shades to attach to my awning on the new MH . It's an electric awning so I can't really adjust the angle of the awning. It's almost flat when deployed as it goes over the slideout so I was looking at shades to attach to it to help block the sun. I came across one called the Vista Shade that says it's for electric awnings.... 2 piece setup, one stays on the roller tube and the other seems to zip to the part in the roller tube..... I was wondering if anyone has used one or seen them. A search turned up no hits on the forum. They are at this website

  • Joe, Did you get this awning? I am also looking at getting this one and wondering how you like it. Also wondering about color and if the black one pulls in the heat at all.

    Thanks for the info.... I think I'll be looking at getting one.
  • I wonder what happened when the auto awning rolls up because of wind and no one is around. Does the tearing make a sound if no one is there to hear it?
  • JoeH.....I have one and it works well. The drop down piece that stays attached to the awning comes in various lengths. With the coach on level ground and the awning out, reach up and see what height you need to be able to zipper the two pieces together. That will be the length of the drop down you need ex (6", 12"' 18" etc.) The attached piece rolls up nicely in my electric awning with no issues.
  • Thanks for the posting and the link. I've saved the site to file as it went immediately on my "I wanna" list.
