We use the curtains to stop fading of upholstery.

Do not use blinds when in storage so as not to keep them under tension for too long a period.

Pull the bilinds down instead of the curtains as they will fade. Load of rubbish about stretching the blinds!!!!

Never had a problem and have done it for years.

Hi Cazzy.

The thing is, have you ever had the springs go. Urban myth ???????

The reason also why you should lift your blinds when travelling, is because most people store their caravans with the blinds closed, so if your caravan is stolen, they won't have got inside, they just tow the caravan away, once they have got it to a secure place out of site, they then probably gemi the door open, but they wouldn't do that before taking it, because the door might not shut properly.  So police are more on the look out for caravans with the curtains closed. 

liable for spring damage on the blinds if left down.close curtains instead.

 Just cut some squares of cardboard and slot them into the blind guides saves the blind springs the curtains and furnishings from fading.

we take our seating and curtains out the van for winter storage so that mice should they get in dont eat at them we had that about 5 years ago every seat in the van had a big hole in it and the bottom of the curtains was eaten as well.
