DRV Window Blinds - Day/night ...Roller?

I am used to the pleated day/night window blinds -with 2 sections of pleated material - the first - a day section - allowing light in and the ability to see out, the second - a night section blocking all light in and out.

On some DRV's .. I have seen on the web .. I saw what appears to be a simple white flat roller pull down blind. I'm wondering if that is all there is for some models - perhaps with the idea that if the trailer has tinted windows it does not need a day blind?

Mine has a day/night shades with the night being a vinyl pull down. It does black out the light well.

Careh that is two separate rollers. The white is the black out, where the day shade is like a screen.

I thought ALL DRVs were equipped with the MCD shades.

The black out shades work great! We only use the day shades to block out sun from that direction.

Our 07.5 had the pleated shades that were a PITA as they needed to be re strung over time. Not sure when they changed but our 16 MS has the MCD and we love them!

Not sure what came standard, but I thought I optioned the day/night shades.

I am sure the MCD shades were standard in the 2016 models.

Our 13 38 RESB3 has the MCD day/night shades on rollers...I love them! So easy to use and they are very efficient.

We replaced the original drawstring shades and ugly curtains with MCD shades. LOVE them!


We chose the manually operated ones, but they do have powered ones for more money.
