Heard that Tiffin has switched from MCD to Auto Motion Shades. I'm thinking of having them installed and would like to hear from those who have them.
Thanks
Cliff

I have all power Automotion shades in my Bus. We really like them alot. Night 7 day shades. I know people that have the MCD's and have ha dnothing , but problems with them. Constantly having to re-set the stops.
I had MCD's installed in my previously owned 2007 Bus. Very expensive and had issues.
Automotion, as a company, has been in business alot longer than MCD. I think that has some merit.

I just got their brochure and they claim Fleetwood,Monaco,Newmar and Winnebago as clients as well.

I would be interested in anybody else's opinion/ experience with them.

We really like the MCD shades, except for the stop issues. If and when we get another coach, I still want MCD shades, in spite of the stop issues. I thought our e-plex system might be causing the stop issues, but apparently it's a known issue.

Thanks,

Sue
