Abstract

A vent shade assembly for a recreational vehicle ceiling vent comprises a vent shade outer frame having an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter defining a first opening coincident with the recreational vehicle ceiling vent. A pair of shade strings are disposed on opposing sides of the vent shade outer frame and proximate the inner perimeter of the vent shade outer frame. A movable pleated shade element having a deployed shape substantially conforming to the inner perimeter of the vent shade outer frame is operable between a closed position substantially occluding the first opening of the vent shade outer frame and an open position, and the one of the pair of shade strings supports one of a pair of opposing side edges of the movable pleated shade element as the movable pleated shade element is operated between the closed position and the open position.
