Home made?

[quote="Randa france" I would prefer the lightweight ones we use and keep the windows open thus shading the area around the window opening as well as the interior.[/quote]

Yours are a better design

I think they look quite professional and the grey would go well with the GT silver. Also like the idea of them fitting into the gutter thingy - sorry having mental block.

Noticed a picture of Randa's the other day and thought how useful they would be in hot weather but didn't see enough of the detail. Do Randa's blinds fit in the gutter strip (ah the word has come back to me now) as well?

We had some prof ones which matched our soplair awning with our first van. I've got some fabric to make new ones for Marmite Too just need to get the beading to sew on the top. They slide into the awning rail and two strips of elastic sewn to the underside of the blind fit over the corners of the open windows. We've found that if you get them on early in the day they keep the van at least four degrees cooler than the outside temperature. We also used to fit them before putting the overwintering cover on the van as they were less likely to have picked up any grit unlike the underside of the cover which we wrestle with on a regular basis.

We use our home made one's to keep the sun/heat out and provide a nice breeze.

Hmm. Unfortunately our older van does not have an awning rail at the front, back, or t'other side

Thanks Randa that's really useful information.

Now Kath has got her old sewing machine working again you never know what she might do. How heavy is the material? Are they like the thickness of a bedroom curtain?

Quick technical point Randa.

The awning rail is about 100mm above the window hinge. So if the blind is made to the correct length when the window is shut, it will become baggy when fully opened?
Or, do you only fit the blind to a fully opened window?

Thanks.
