Why Choose United Shade Custom Pleated Night Shades?
Off-the-shelf shades rarely fit RV windows perfectly. United Shade solves this by manufacturing each custom RV pleated night shade to your exact width and height specifications. Whether you need a compact shade for a small van window or a wide shade for a full-size slide-out, there's a size combination that fits.
The night fabric construction provides total privacy when extended to the full down position — no gaps, no light bleed. For those who need absolute darkness (think overnight travel or daytime napping), the optional blackout liner takes privacy to the next level. These custom pleated night shades are a favorite among full-time RVers, boaters, and homeowners alike.
Every shade is made to order by United Shade, a trusted manufacturer with decades of experience in custom window treatments for the RV and marine industries.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my RV window for a custom pleated night shade?
Measure the width and height of your window opening in inches. Select the size range that covers your measurement — for example, if your window is 38" wide, select the 32"–48" width option.
Is this shade compatible with all RV window types?
Yes. United Shade custom pleated night shades are designed for RV, marine, residential, and commercial applications and can be fitted to virtually any window opening within the available size ranges.
What is the difference between a night shade and a day/night shade?
A night shade provides total privacy only. A day/night shade includes two fabrics — a sheer day layer and a solid night layer — giving you the flexibility to switch between light filtering and full privacy.
Can I add a blackout liner to eliminate all light?
Yes. An optional blackout liner can be applied to the backside of the night fabric to eliminate nearly all light infiltration — ideal for full-time RVers or anyone who needs complete darkness.
