New Rear Shades Project May 01, 2015, 02:04:06 pm Yahoo Message Number: 152521I downloaded some photos of a project we finished on our 23.5 TK. We liked the HUGE windows in the rear, but found the factory valances covered more of the windows than we liked. So I fabricated some plywood covers for the rear corners, and we had some nice shades ordered from Lowes. Turned out pretty nice. Now we have privacy, but can open up the windows for that GREAT panoramic Lazy Daze view out the rear.Don

Found that the frame on the bottom of the shades locked into place under the windows. It was a major draft stopper. Mind you the winter temps were supposed to be in the 40's. But even with a 40 -50° night it was very helpful. Not sure if you can add that feature to your blinds and it may never be an issue.... Sandy KalleAnka Vt

Spent a cold winter in OR. this year and found if I stuffed cardboard with foam insulation into the rear side storage compartments it stopped cold from coming in. Not practical when traveling because I need the storage but great when staying put a couple months. A cheap $15 electric heater from Walmart really helped.bobmoore14

No wonder the poor dog was so cold! Still not resolved to my satisfaction.
