Vista Shade for Electric RV Awnings

[gasman94]

Ok, so I went to install today. Looking at rails, do I need to remove the plastic end cap that covers the end of the arm rail to install? Can't see any other way to access awning tube groove.

On the rail on side (towards the rear of coach) should be open. There are 2 rails, one is for the awning fabric and the other is for the auxillary item like the shade pro. You might have to bring the awning in slightly to see the open rail.

Thanks. I can see the open rail, but the rail cap blocks the opening. That is why I'm wondering if I need to take the top half of the cap off. I gave up on it today because there is too much wind. But I will have it on by Memorial day camping.

I think kind of on the top side there is a groove that might allow d shade to slide into the roller. Looks like if you stop the awning roller to line up with that groove, you might be able to slip it in without removing any of the motor cover. I'm not looking at it right now but that's what my memory is telling me. :-)

OK. Thanks. I'll check it out next time I have it here.

If it is a Dometic, you can't slide it in from the motor end, it has to slide in from the torsion end.
