Add light control and privacy to a compatible caravan or RV entry door with the original Lippert Thin Shade, part 786037. The black pleated shade fits inside a Lippert window frame already prepared for Thin Shade and stays neatly integrated when raised or lowered.
Check compatibility before ordering
This is the shade only, not a complete door window or frame kit.
- Look for a “Thin Shade Ready” decal on the inside of your Lippert entry-door window frame.
- Confirm Lippert part number 786037 is the shade specified for your existing frame.
- The shade measures 11-7/8 × 21-1/2 inches, approximately 302 × 546 mm.
- Lippert's installation manual lists compatible snap-together frame parts 711862 and 786036, and screw-together frame parts 387500 and 387501.
- If your door is not Thin Shade Ready, this add-on shade will not fit by itself. A compatible complete window kit is required.
Model note: Lippert now lists EcoCell part 2025009147 as the successor to original part 786037. This product page is for the original 786037 pleated shade and should not be confused with the newer EcoCell version.
Benefits for caravan and RV touring

Installation overview
- Verify the window frame is marked Thin Shade Ready and matches the compatible Lippert frame style.
- Follow the correct Lippert instructions for either the snap-together or screw-together frame.
- Open the frame retainers, fit the shade rails into the frame and secure the retainers.
- Test the shade through its full travel before completing the installation.
Use the official Lippert instructions for your frame type. Moving components can pinch, so keep fingers clear and work carefully.
