Awning Sun Shade??

I am on my first trip and I was wanting to install my Shade Pro Vista Shade on my awning. I do not see the groove that I had on my last motorhome. I am now thinking I cannot install the shade.

Has anyone figured out how to use the awing shade on the Ventana LE awnings?

I found out yesterday that the awning that is on my Ventana LE will not work with any shades. The awning tube has no slots for the shades to attach or slide into. I now have a 19' shade I can't use.

What kind of awning do you have? I have a #3709 Ventana and our friend has a #3709 Ventana LE both 2017. He has a Vista Shade on his awning. If it's a Gerard than no it won't work.

Came on your coach. Same as ours. On each side of the roller should be what looks like buckles. On ours that's where the slot is, you will have to turn it alittle to get the ends out of the way. We undid that slid it in and the top part folds up with the awning. We keep the bottom in a bay. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I will check it as soon as I can.

If you can get it to work great. If not I could be interested. Mine is an A&E manual and has the slot.

I will let you know what I decide. We won't get back home until mid October.
I did locate my slot, but my 19' shade is to long and it may be to short. I want to see if I can cut it or not.
