problem with night shade and speedo

I am new to this forum and really would appreciate some help with two issues on my new 2018 Allegro Open Road 32 SA

Regarding the nightshade on the front windshield, it worked perfectly for about two weeks and then suddenly yesterday the motor runs but the shade will not come down… Has anyone else had this issue and can you give me any idea what the problem might be?

The other issue I am having has to do with the speedometer. I am on the Ford V10 chassis and since the day I took delivery of the unit the speed on with her has not match the speed on the GPS. I figured this out when following my wife home from the dealership with the motorhome. The Ford speedometer is between seven and 10 mph faster than the speed on the GPS. If the Ford speedometer reads 60 mph I am actually only going 50 mph the faster I drive the more exaggerated the difference on the speedometer. I have talk to the dealership that I purchased the unit from and they have called me back to say that they are having trouble figuring out what the problem might be and that I may have to take the unit to a Ford truck store. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how you might have gotten it resolved?

Thank you very much for any assistance you may give.

You didn't mention the make of your shades. I suggest you use Google to search for the manufacturer and see if they have any troubleshooting or service documents available.

On a 2018 I'm sure you still have coverage, so on both the speedometer and the shade I suggest you have your dealer deal with the issues. Check that the tires and wheels are the proper size, but from the amount of error in the speedo I'd suggest it's a simple programming adjustment needed.

The gearing in the shade motor may have shifted on their shafts or the motor has moved a bit. Again, the dealer should deal with this issue.

My 2018 Phaeton 40QBH night shade will get hung up on the solar shade if it is raised too high. Look up behind cabinet and move the night shade enough for it to get by the solar one.
Might need two people. One for the dash switch and the other to move the shade.
Good Luck!
