Hi dusty,

Halogen heaters..........
We have one for the awning, as do a lot of others on here.
They are brilliant, but can be a bit bright on the eyes.

Blinds.......
I bought some for my 1992 van...no problem.
They are not made specific for a particular caravan.
Go to a local caravan dealer, tell them the size of the window, and they should stock one to suit.
They aren't cheap mind..........£70 each for the side windows, but that did include fitting.

Hi Dusty Lady

As Allen has said your local caravan dealer might stock them if not they will be able to order them in for you, i had to replace 3 cassette blinds 2 side windows and 1 bathroom window it cost me £205.00 they are not cheap. A few caravan breakers i visited had second hand ones but never had my sizes.

I got a Seitz blind from

www.homesteadcaravans.co.uk

They stock a range of sizes and have a quick mail order service

Mine cost £60.95 for780mm X 700mm

You can easily reduce the height by shortening the sides.

I tried breakers but was let down so many times I bought new at twice the price

I read with interest your comments on buying new cassette blinds as we need a couple for our aged van - 1989.  I thought, great an online shop but try and click on the link and its been hacked!! Hope they fix it soon - my Turckish isn't too good...

Hi Dustylady,cant help with the blinds question,but the halogen heater is a great way to warm up the awning but get one that has a cut out just in case it gets knocked over.Good luck with both.
