    Sun shade

    Just purchased the Grand Design Solitude and am looking for a sun shade to attach to the outside awning. Any recommendations? Are sun shades universal to fit all awnings?
    Thank you.

    We bought our sun shade to attach to our awning on our bumper pull from Camping World and it worked great. However, now we have the 337 and it doesn't have the groove to attach the shade to so we are still trying to figure out how we can make it work.

    I had a sunshade, but I couldn't reach the awning on my 379, so I gave it away

    CareFree Colorado now has a shade that is zippered. You slide in the first foot of shade and leave it in the awning. It will roll up with the awning. Unroll your awning and zip on the lower 6 or 7ft of the shade. No need for ladders and quicker to remove if the wind starts up. I don't have it--yet. I think it is pretty good idea compared to the original that you have to thread into the groove each time.

    Well that's interesting to hear!

    Our 337 does have the channel and this is the awning screen we have. We bought the 9 foot drop screen I believe which, as lee8751 describes, has a 2 foot top section that slips into the channel and remains on the awning, rolling up when it's close. The you just zip the bottom section on when you want it.



    The VistaShade is a quality piece and we love it! Here's the link.

    Paul,

    If I understand you correctly, you don't have to slide it in and out each time before/after use?

    Exactly. The top 2 feet stay in the channel and roll up with the awning.

    LC,

    It did come with stakes and ties downs in a nice vinyl carrying bag. Fortunate for me the company I bought it from, ShadePro, is near me, so I picked it up.
