Hymer Concertina Blind Replacement

[codgerbodger]

Re, Hymer B574 2002.
The van is pushing 20 years old and some of the blinds are worse for wear. Light is showing through various folds, they are still in one piece but the warning signs are there.
I could not see any posts on replacement and wonder if anybody has any words of wisdom on the matter.

I’d be interested to hear if anyone has experience too, as my 97 B544 is also looking rather worn in this respect, particularly on the cab blinds.

Has anyone managed to refurb theirs?

I've heard of people spraying them with fabric paint with good cosmetic results. Don't know if the paint will also stiffen them a bit which could be helpful?

Interesting idea, thanks

Someone on here sprayed them with starch to good effect apparently
