ultimate Advantage Sunvisor controls

[prafersno]

The switches on my driver's arm rest labeled driver and passenger visor operate the large day and night shade respectively. I can not find controls to lower the smaller visors for each side.

Hi Greg,
On pages 2-12 & 2-13 of your Owner's Manual, there is no mention of side-visors to be found. The Brochure only mentions two powered visors. Could it be that the side-visors are just manually adjusted?

My side window shades operate exactly like an old-fashioned window blind.

so I guess the day and night shades are MCD? brand. There is a switch plate on the wall behind each side window, with 2 up and down arrows and a round button between the arrows. Mind you there are loose wires hanging near the shades and such. When I press some of those buttons the side black mesh 'Day?' shade comes down. when I press the other set of arrows, the white 'night?' shade comes down. The big ones across the windshield only move with the switches on the armrest marked LT Visor and RT Visor. The actual visors don't move, not even sure if there are wires going to them. Maybe the PO wired the switches to use the big shades as visors....

I'll try and post pics when I can. Putting out bigger fires with the a/c and gennie

Thanks

Your sales brochure says in the cab features section it has shades, light-filtering for the cab area, and for the windshield 2 powered sunvisors. Not a lot of detail for the cab side windows.

BTW, welcome to the Ultimate club! You own one of 483 ever built between 1999.5 and 2004.5. Retail price was close to $300,000 in 2000, and more in subsequent years.

They were Winnebagos luxury line during those years, and only select top-selling W dealers were allowed to sell them.

Thanks! I didn't realize it what it was at first, I just happened across it and it checked all the boxes I thought I wanted. It's got a LOT of work to be done but at 25k I think I'll still come out of it with some equity.

It is kind of a pain already, trying to source parts because the Ultimates are rarely on the drop down parts lists.

For example: I'm pretty sure mine is the only year with projector style headlights. I haven't tried to look on the back for a manufacturer but there like 3" individual lights.

Anyway rant over, just have a lot of learning and familiarization ahead of me. But I look forward to the day I don't have to think twice about heading across the country, because it can handle it.

Same in my 03 UA 40K. Looking forward to pictures.

So these are wireless controllers for the MCD Day/Night shades. They are velcroed to the wall behind the driver and pass windows. Still make them today, just fancier.
