QQ I agree on the security aspect of this and have installed one. Only thing is, if the shade is down, you cannot lift it to see who is knocking without opening the door first. The screen prevents you from doing that. Have to open the door to open or close the shade. Appreciate the video

Hi George, you are right. What some folks do is install the shade upside down. You can pull it down from the top and leave it cracked so you can see. What we do is leave it cracked at the bottom. When it’s dark inside people outside can’t see you. Just food for thought. Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

I just installed my new Thin Shade window today. I used your tips and installed the window upside down so that the shade pulls up. What a great idea, and your hints really made the install quick and easy. Thanks so much for your video and hints. Great job. ! Gordon Stark

Hi Prairie, thanks so much for watching! We are really enjoying having the thin shades on the windows. We tend to keep the bedroom one down so the light doesn't come through in the morning and keep the one in the living area up so we can see out if necessary. Keep in mind that you cannot get to the shade from inside the trailer because of the screen, but regardless, we like them much better than the frosted windows. Happy camping to you as well!

Russ, thank you so much for watching our video. I would of responded earlier but Rhonda and I were both battling Covid. I ordered the Latch It today. Funny story our last trip we lock ourselves out of the trailer with out a key. I have no clue how it does it but sometimes the RV door locks it’s self. Lucky I had a window I left open. I told Rhonda I’m going to get one of the remote locks. The only thing that worries me if the battery goes bad and it doesn’t open. Thanks for the advise. Till the next time Russ, Stan and Rhonda

Thanks, I especially like that the butter knife works so well! I plan the install this week. Congrats on the grand babies! Also, great tip about installing the key pad door lock. I worry about leaving our puppy locked in side while we go to dinner, etc. That if there were an emergency no one could help her. With the key pad door lock I could leave the combination with a trusted fellow camper for that situation. Thanks!

Hi Leo, loved your video. Buying one tomorrow. As for door locks we just installed the Bauer bluetooth unit. All metal construction and made in Michigan ! You can open it with a key, phone app, keypad and....bluetooth proximity detection ! Walk up to your camper, blue light flashes saying " authorized user" push the unlock button and you are in. To lock it's just like my Ford truck. Push the bottom 2 buttons together and it locks. Check if the deadbolt is locked (and lock it)from bed, Love it ! We live in Havasu. I am guessing by your mountain bike trail video (on beer bottle to the lake) that you guys live here also. My wife Anna and I mountain bike also. Havasu trails are pretty tough but beautiful.

We aren’t sure if that window would work either, but here is some food for thought. A funny thing we realized AFTER we installed the new windows, you can’t get to the shade through the screen door. Seems like a no brained, but we didn’t realize the functionality of it until it was in. To get to it, you have to open the door, get in between the screen and the door to open or close the shade. So, with that said, the question is, do you think you would you use the vented/screened window when you have the door closed? Hope that makes sense. Let us know 😀

@OverTheHillAdventures

Жыл бұрын

Hello Trish, you can’t!! The screen door is in the way. What we do is we keep the bedroom one always closed. The one in the living we just leave it open. What some folks do is they flip the shade so you pull it up instead of down. That way you can always leave a crack at the top. So you can always see who is at the door without exposing yourself. Hope that helps.

I wish they had come up with a way to open and close them when the door is closed since screen door gets in the way. This is why I think I want the shade to open from top down so I can leave open just a little at the top so I can see out of it but be mostly covered from the sun and people seeing in.

You can’t! There are only two solutions. Keep the shade cracked a little or install the shade upside down and leave the crack at the top. The bedroom shade I keep down all the time the living room shade I keep up. If my neighbors are too close I leave open just enough so I can always see outside. The smoke glass is pretty dark even at night.
