One of the things that bugged me about the RV was the amount of light that the "night" blinds let into the bedroom, especially in the summer.
Since we've had an Abbey caravan,I've noticed that the blinds let no light in at all and appear to be foil backed for insulation purposes.
This got me thinking, I wonder if it would be possible to back an RV blind with foil to keep out the light on summer nights and have the added benfit of helping to keep in heat on winter nights?
I know I could put up blackout type curtains but I was trying to get a more "proffesional" looking result.........besides, I like tinkering!
I can think of two possible problems tho'
1. Any adhesive used might "leach" through to the inside and cause unsightly staining.
and
2. The foil might crack at the corner of each blind crease.
I think I might ring Swift and ask what they use, in the meantime.....thoughts?
PS. If it wasn't for ScotJimLands extremely usefull "threading" diagram, I wouldn't even attempt this!:thumb:
