This document describes the installation and owner's manual for the Lippert Thin Shade, designed for RV entry doors. It covers aftermarket applications and provides detailed instructions for both snap-frame and screw-in frame installations.

Function Description:

The Lippert Thin Shade is a window shade designed to be installed in Lippert RV entry doors. Its primary function is to provide privacy and light control for the RV interior. The shade is a pleated design, allowing it to be raised and lowered to adjust the amount of light entering the RV and to offer privacy when desired. The manual outlines two distinct installation methods, catering to different types of Lippert door frames: the 711862 Outer Frame/786036 Inner Frame snap-together frame and the 387500 Outer Frame/387501 Inner Frame screw-together frame. This versatility ensures compatibility with a range of Lippert RV doors. The "THIN SHADE READY" marking on the frame components indicates areas where the shade is designed to integrate, simplifying the installation process.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Part Number: 786037
• Description: Window Shade
• Dimensions: 11 7/8" x 21 1/2" (This is the specific dimension for the shade itself, implying it fits a standard window opening within the specified Lippert frames).
• Compatible Frames (Snap-Frame): 711862 Outer Frame / 786036 Inner Frame
• Compatible Frames (Screw-in Frame): 387500 Outer Frame / 387501 Inner Frame
• Required Tools: Cordless or electric drill or screw gun, Phillips screwdriver, appropriate drive bits, tape measure. These tools are standard for most DIY installations, indicating a user-friendly approach to the installation process.
• Material: The shade itself appears to be made of a pleated fabric, designed for durability and aesthetic appeal within an RV environment. The frame components are likely made of plastic or a similar lightweight, durable material suitable for RV interiors.

Usage Features:

• Privacy and Light Control: The core benefit of the Thin Shade is its ability to be raised and lowered, offering occupants control over privacy and the amount of natural light entering the RV.
• Integrated Design: The shade is designed to fit seamlessly within existing Lippert RV entry door frames, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the door. The "THIN SHADE READY" indicators on the frames suggest a pre-engineered fit.
• Easy Operation: While not explicitly detailed, pleated shades typically operate by gently pulling the bottom rail up or down. The installation instructions for adjusting cord knots imply a cord-operated mechanism, allowing for smooth and controlled movement of the shade.
• Secure Latching: For snap-frame installations, the shade is secured by small levers at the top and bottom of the window frame, ensuring it stays in place during travel.
• Aftermarket Application: This manual specifically targets aftermarket installations, meaning RV owners can purchase and install this shade themselves to upgrade or replace existing window coverings in their Lippert doors.

Maintenance Features:

• Cord Adjustment (Screw-in Frame): The manual details a specific maintenance step for screw-in frames involving adjusting the cord knots. This allows for fine-tuning the shade's resting position or tension if it becomes loose over time. The instruction to measure 1/2" up from the existing knot and create a new knot suggests a method for shortening the cord, which could be necessary if the shade sags or doesn't hold its position correctly.
• Replacement Parts: The manual directs users to lci1.com/support and https://store.lci1.com/ for additional information and replacement kits, indicating that components of the shade or frame can be replaced if damaged or worn. This extends the lifespan of the product and allows for repairs rather than full replacement.
• Cleaning: While not explicitly stated in the provided excerpts, pleated shades typically require light dusting or spot cleaning with a mild detergent and water. The fabric material would likely be chosen for its ease of maintenance in an RV setting.
• Documentation and Support: The availability of the LippertNOW app and online support resources (lci1.com/support) provides users with accessible information and assistance for installation, troubleshooting, and general maintenance. The manual also states that all information is subject to change and updated versions are available online, ensuring users have access to the most current instructions.
• Disassembly for Replacement: The installation procedures for both snap-frame and screw-in frames inherently describe the disassembly process for removing an existing shade, which would be a key aspect of maintenance or replacement. For screw-in frames, the caution regarding the order of screw removal highlights a critical step to prevent damage or injury during maintenance.
