hi

Wonder if anyone out there could help. Our caravan has the roller blinds that are a sealed unit. They go up and down in a channel either side of the window.

The major problem with these blinds are they bunch up/stick and crease.

I was thinking about unscrewing the unit and ironing them to see if this makes them any better.

The wife suggested replacing the sealed units with roller blinds.

Is there anybody out there who's fitted roller blinds to their caravan? Any advice will be deeply appreciated.

Cheers

Don't know about ironing them but if they are the casette type, you should be able to unscrew them from the wall and take them apart. I had a similar problem and found that there was a plastic chord holding the blind in the roller that had worked it's way out of it's slot and had got a bit tangled up in the blind preventing it from working properly.

Another idea is to try tensioning them up a bit - again, if it is the cassette type, there should be a screwdriver slot to one side which allows tensioning.

Many thanks to Mike+Judi & Vanman I knew I'd get help from the people on this site.

I will try the tension screw when I next go to the caravan

Once again many thanks
