RV Blinds - What are these?

[Dave_Pete]

There is a type of blind I've seen, generally on older or more upscale coaches, that are basically the soft fabric honeycomb. But the feature I'm asking about is where the darker (or blackout) is at the top and the light filtering or "sheer" so to speak is the bottom part. These, in effect, do both functions: blackout and privacy, but allow in light while in privacy mode. They are a top down/bottom up. Does anybody know what these are correctly called so I may do an Internet search? Thanks.

I like my day/night shades. The only problem I have had is that the cord seems to break easily. I have replaced the cord in almost all mine, it gets easier after the first one. Haven't had to replace any cords a second time.

I installed day/night shades in the family room at my last home. They were great when we bought our first big television as the windows were on the opposite wall. We'd use the night mode for watching DVDs or just about anything in the summer when the sun would still be up when we sat down to relax.

I had shades made at Lowes. I could chose different fabrics with different opacity and colors and I could select whether the daylight section was on the top or the bottom.

What does PITA stand for? Thanks/Newbie Mikey

PITA = Pain In The A...

[Dave_Pete]

Or maybe he meant the day shades can't be used on a hunting trip!

[Dave_Pete]

It's an acronym for a pain in a part of your anatomy.

I use the day part more often than I use the night part. I want morning sunlight to wake me.

Aren't they? We've never used the day portion either.

Yeah, we're replacing the manufacturer installed faux wood 2" slat jobbers that are so heavy and annoying. Love our home cordless top down bottom ups.

I had them in my Aspect. Think the previous owner changed them out. Mfg was Levolor
(sp?.). It was a day/night, but the night section was what I, too, called honeycomb. Definitely blocked any light, coming in, going out. Very nice.

Day night shades or day/night shades.
