Manual Roll-down Sun Visor

My 34' Dolphin was missing the passenger side sun-visor when I bought it. The original Carefree of Colorado power visors are over $200, so I'm hoping to find a manual roll-down visor for a lot less money. I haven't had much like finding anything suitable on line. Is there such a thing?

Regular roll-down window shades or venetian blinds don't seem like a good option as they would sway back and forth too much when down. It needs something with folding arms that stop back and forth movement.

Cam, look for MCD shades.
The #1 RV Roller Shades Manufacturer | MCD Innovations

We had a cheap shade as standard equipment on our 2008 Monaco Dynasty (ordered new). It was a mesh shade on the driver's side window that I could pull down with my hand. When I would pull the cord to raise it, it would fly up so fast almost making to outer space.

Finally, I decided to get a MCD two roller manual shade. One shade was mesh the other was solid black-out. WOW, I wish I had changed that previous shade on day one!!!

With the MCD shade I could tug either the mesh or solid shade once and it would roll up softly. It was SO nice.

Don't scrimp on price here. I can't remember what the shade cost but whatever it was it was worth every penny.

(on edit), checking the website, the MCD shades aren't cheap but I can tell you the quality was wonderful.

Safe travels,
Mark
