Replacement Shades March 18, 2010, 02:48:45 pm Yahoo Message Number: 111108Hi Does anyone know where I may be able to purchase the older style pull down shades for my 2001 Rear Kitchen? I am at the Lazy Daze factory and Vince informs me it would take 4-5 hrs to install the newer vertical sliding shades. Something he just does not have time to do without an appointment. Repairs are scheduled into May! A discussion led me to believe it might be a little to difficult for me to install the new style myself.They no longer carry the older style.TIA Ed

It was more of a cosmetic and not functional issue. Although they were willing to find an RV repair to install it in North Carolina, I told them I would do it myself and did do the work myself. It was years ago, but I don't think it took 4 hours. As I recall adjusting the tension in cords was the only tricky part. If you're "handy", you can probably do it without a problem.Alex Rutchka, SE #4 '05 MB
