Description
Product Overview
The Lippert Thin Shade EcoCell is a purpose‑built window shade designed specifically for Lippert pre‑prepared entry doors. Constructed from a high‑density, UV‑resistant fabric, the shade incorporates a patented EcoCell cellular structure that creates a series of pleated air chambers. These chambers act as thermal insulation, capturing ambient air to reduce heat transfer and keep the interior of your RV cooler in hot weather and warmer when temperatures drop. The result is a noticeable reduction in the load on your RV’s air‑conditioning and heating systems, translating into lower fuel consumption and a more comfortable living space.
The shade measures 13 × 2 × 2 inches and weighs just 10.9 ounces, making it lightweight yet durable. Its sleek, low‑profile design integrates seamlessly into the door frame, eliminating the need for bulky, removable covers that require storage. The integrated blinds are fixed securely, providing a clean, modern aesthetic while ensuring the shade stays in place even on bumpy roads.
Installation is a straightforward, tool‑free process. Because the shade is engineered for Lippert’s Thin Shade‑ready doors, you simply remove the existing window frame, snap the EcoCell shade into the pre‑cut slot, and reattach the frame. The entire operation can be completed in under ten minutes, allowing you to upgrade your RV’s comfort level without professional assistance.
Usage
Whether you are embarking on a cross‑country road trip, setting up a weekend campsite, or using your RV as a mobile office, the Lippert EcoCell shade adapts to a variety of environments. In bright desert conditions, the sun‑blocking fabric reduces glare and heat buildup, creating a cooler interior that is pleasant for sleeping or cooking. In cooler climates, the cellular design helps retain interior warmth, making it easier to maintain a comfortable temperature without over‑relying on the heater.
The cord‑free sliding mechanism allows you to adjust the shade with a simple push or pull, giving you instant control over light levels and privacy. This is especially useful when you need to quickly dim the cabin for a movie night or open the shade fully to enjoy panoramic views while parked at a scenic overlook.
The shade’s low‑profile construction also means it does not interfere with the operation of the door, preserving the ease of entry and exit that is essential for daily RV use. Its robust material resists fading, tearing, and moisture, ensuring long‑term performance even after repeated exposure to sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations.

FAQ
Can the shade be installed on non‑Lippert doors?
The EcoCell shade is specifically engineered for Lippert Thin Shade‑ready entry doors. While it may physically fit other doors of similar dimensions, we cannot guarantee a secure snap‑on fit or optimal performance on non‑Lippert door frames.
How does the EcoCell design improve energy efficiency?
The pleated cellular structure creates insulated air pockets that slow heat transfer. In hot weather, this reduces the amount of solar heat entering the RV, decreasing the load on the air‑conditioning system. In cold weather, it helps retain interior warmth, reducing heater usage.
Is the shade compatible with existing window hardware?
Yes. The shade replaces the standard window frame and integrates directly into the door opening. It does not interfere with locks, seals, or other hardware, preserving the door’s security and weather‑tight performance.
What maintenance is required?
Cleaning is simple: wipe the fabric with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high‑pressure water streams, which could damage the fabric or cellular structure.
Does the shade affect the door’s structural integrity?
No. The shade is lightweight and designed to distribute load evenly across the door frame. It does not add significant weight and does not compromise the door’s strength or sealing capability.
