Though I understand the attraction (ease of use, a "day" shade that you can see through, a total blackout night shade), I just didn't like how they looked. Personal opinion! Unlike many people, we don't dislike standard day/night shades - until they get as old as ours and need to be replaced.Laurie and Odelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160352835343733761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-18773674988529391852011-01-06T17:10:00.617-08:002011-01-06T17:10:00.617-08:00Janna, I am with you - I wish the cockpit area was...Janna, I am with you - I wish the cockpit area was tile, rolled vinyl, or even a hard rubber material similar to what they use on the stairs.Laurie and Odelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160352835343733761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-70030773625669673532011-01-06T17:08:35.027-08:002011-01-06T17:08:35.027-08:00JB, we made it into Usery this morning.

Plus it's easier for our 14 1/2 yr old German Shepherd to walk on carpet than tile. <br /><br />We have MCD blinds and would not look back to anything else. We love love love them. So easy to raise and lower, with just s flick of the wrist. No light seeping through little holes hitting you just right in the eye. No light what so ever. Nice. Well worth the money. They are easy enough to install yourself too. Just regular shade clips that snap in. Saving that money on installation by doing it yourself makes up for the cost of the shades. Which really are not that unreasonable compared to others out there that are more of a pain to use.<br /><br />Good Luck!

Something warm on the pigs, change decor anytime, can move them around and EASY TO CLEAN. Ya I like that last pro! ;) Can't wait to see pics of the different looks you have to choose from.

Carpet is nice as RV floors can be cold--our granite floor tile in the bath and kitchen in the new to us motorhome is frigid on cold mornings!

Hope you have nice digs for the couple of weeks this might take (I know, I know. But after a "3 day repair" that took almost six weeks, let's say I am dubious of proposed completion dates.
