MAXXAIR's MAXXSHADE is a retractable interior sunshade fitted around a compatible RV roof-vent garnish ring. Its reflective-backed shade helps reduce light and heat. Choose the plain MAXXSHADE for shading without built-in lights or MAXXSHADE Plus when you also want integrated cool-white LED accent lighting.

Compare the actual products

Product Factory part number Key difference
MAXXSHADE 00-03900 Spring-loaded retractable shade without integrated lighting
MAXXSHADE Plus 00-03901 Same retractable shade concept, with integrated cool-white LED lighting requiring a compatible 12V electrical connection

Both models are intended for compatible 14 × 14-inch RV roof-vent openings and mount at the interior trim, not on the exterior roof. The manufacturer describes a secure snap-lock closure and a reflective-backed shade. They are not replacement exterior domes or rain covers.

Identify the installation pieces

Interior MAXXSHADE mounting
Existing garnish ring

The original trim ring around the ceiling opening is removed and retained for reinstallation.

MAXXSHADE adapter

Installed over the garnish ring and secured using four supplied screws.

Shade housing

Attaches to the adapter so the retractable material sits beneath the vent opening.

LED supply — Plus only

Connects the integrated lighting to a suitable fused 12V circuit; not needed for the plain shade.

Check the vent and electrical requirements

Installation detail What to check
Garnish attachment The supplied adapter uses the existing garnish-ring area; some other-brand trims require suitable new mounting holes
Vent and fan operation The shade must not interfere with the vent operator or the screen
Fan use MAXXAIR warns not to run a powered ventilation fan with the shade fully closed, because the fan may overheat
LED Plus power The manufacturer specifies 12V DC service with at least 2A available on a fused circuit
Electrical installation Disconnect the vehicle's power first and follow the enclosed Maxxair instructions and applicable electrical codes
