Anyone install these type of roller shades?
Forum Discussion
1. They would be great for stand alone on the wall above the window
2. MOST (ALL) OEM's install motorized shades behind their own custom wood valances.
3. Van Motorhomes also install behind custom built in valances.
4. The MAIN drawback to Motorized shades either RF or switch controlled is the programming. If you look at the Video for these shades you will notice the ease of accessing the programming up and down screw pots. THAT is the problem with Motorized shades. ACCESSING THE UP AND DOWN STOPS FOR PROGRAMMING.
5. Unless you free mount these shades with its own Valance, it will still be difficult to program as access will also be severely restricted.
6. So, COST is the only real factor with these shades. If they are competitive or cheaper than Auto Motion or MCD, then they will make headway. IF the OEM's do not buy these for OEM install(they will not buy the ones with built in valances), then they will fade away.
7. These are a great option for RV's that have open spaces above the windows to mount them. Doug
PS, Odds are they have been introduced recently and will be at the Louisville RV show this week trying to get OEM's on board. BTW, they will cost a LOT more than $200 $200 is the cost of MANUAL spring shades. Doug
