Am very newbie at Caravanning but loving it so far. We have a sterling elite 560 model with rear fixed bed. Blinds on the windows which have small holes along both sides where the cord is fixed. This unfortunately let's lots of light into the bedroom area as there are no curtains which seems a common design in rear fixed bed caravans. I saw a post on here concerning certain John Lewis blinds which may solve our problem but am unable to find it now-anybody have the same problem and how did you solve it.
Thanks in advance

There are companies on the web who will make curtains to your spec all you have to do is send them the measurements.

Our van is Swift based too with the same bed layout, but with curtains fitted.

The set up uses the same rail mouldings for the curtain hooks as the front, so if you have look at those,you can see what is required. Order from your dealer?
