Raptor sun shades light?

We are looking at buying a new Raptor and when we went to look at them I
noticed that the pull down window shades where very light? The fifth wheel we have now had day-night shades so you cant see in the rv at night with the lights on. Are all the new raptors this way?

Mine are the same way. They are light in color, but you can not see in or through them.

Day/Night shades come in various colors to fit many decorator schemes. Keystone doesn't use day/night shades on most of their units, electing to use only the "night" half of the shade. The "night" half has the same "obscuring" capability in both types. The color ranges from "dark to light" depending on the decor of the unit. It's sort of like choosing white or alabaster or brown mini-blinds, all three choices block the view, but one or the other may fit the room color better.

We had day/night shades on our Holiday Rambler and never used the "day half." Some owners may, but we found it blocked the view by making the windows harder to see out. For us, the "night half" makes for less "hassle" in closing up the RV at night because we don't have to shuffle the "day half" up and down to get to what we use.

Same with mine you can't see in at all at night, even with the shades up the tinted windows make it hard to see in anyway

Guess I got spoiled with the Copper Canyon because it has day night shades and the night shades are dark. I hate the bright sunlight early in the morning when your trying to sleep.
