2019 Northern Lite 10-2

the shade inside the camper by the sink began to discolor, Northern Lite sent a new one including frame, Northern Lite did this after seeing pictures without me asking I just wanted a opinion on what might have caused it. Northern Lite was great on promptly shipping a new one. Now the problem no directions to get to the screws that hold the frame and blind on the wall how do you take the sides on top off the old blind, do they just pry off with a push from a putty knife, or is there a easier way. This is our first Northern Lite, and it has not been used much because of a house fire that consumed most of last year and this year so far but that disaster headache is over now. I ned to fix my blind in the camper and take some time away from the farm.
  • I would contact NL again. They should be able to assist you with the replacement process.
  • Also, I don’t think it has much to do with Northern Lite. I’m sure they don’t make the awning. So, I’d look for how to replace awning material in a search of youtube and find an example that is similar.

    There are companies that sell replacement material and they probably have how tos on youtube. Good luck.
  • I believe the 0P is replacing a interior window shade not an awning. NL installed it whether they made it or not

    We just removed the frame behind the sink/stove on our NL a few weeks ago. To gain access to the frame's mounting screws, you have to carefully pry/pop the 4 long, decorative inserts away from each side of the frame.

    FWIW, you can flip the frame upside down and have the shade (and screen) close in the opposite direction if you'd like.
