[C&P RV]

This is an interesting post. Thanks to the OP for starting the discussion.

We have always traveled with our shades down unless it was cold outside and we wanted the sun to warm the trailer. Been doing this for 19 years originally departing from El Paso and now San Antonio. But that wasn't with roller shades that came on our 2022!! We've got one small one that is already not working correctly and our large shade in the rear of the trailer actually won't stay down because the bouncing back there is too much for the spring and catch. So glad to learn from others. We will have to reconsider our approach. I'm not sure I want to have to replace brackets (or shades) because of the possible wear and tear. But, we have to weigh in the heat gain from leaving them down. Hmmm...
