Our previous coach had roller shades you could pull down to keep the sun out while driving. The Vista we have now does not have them and we'd like to put them in. Has any one installed shades on these side windows? Looked at some Solar screen shades made by Levolor at Lowes that might work.

We put MCD shades day/night all around the cockpit with 6 months of buying our MH. Glad to get rid of the curtains and have no regrets.

We put stick on plastic on the windows above the area you see the side mirrors thru. We then pull the side curtains across as needed keeping side mirror view clear and moving them back as needed for proper side view at intersections, etc.

Did the same, the day screens makes a world of difference keeping heat off driver and passenger...also nice when parked, privacy during the day but can still see outside. Windshield duo is motorized and the cockpit sides are manual. MCD shades are pricey but well worth the investment.

Do you have any photos you could share? Would love to see them. Thanks.

I don't have any pictures and the MH is in storage. MCD has pictures on their site. We had them installed at the factory near Dallas. We bought the electric for the front and the manual for the driver/passenger side. We also had made custom valances to cover the shades and the stain is a perfect match to our cabinets. It looks really nice.

We just came back from the MH in storage so I don't think we will be going back any time soon. Sorry about that.
