We have a 2017 27RL reflection 5th wheel and wanting to replace all blinds with blackout roller blinds. Has anyone replaced theirs and where did you buy them.
Thank you

Have not replaced my broken one yet, but the OEM supplier is United Shade LLC in Elkhart, IN.
I suspect they just resell from another Elkhart Company though. Check youtube for ideas...
 
Update on United Shade...they basically import standard sizes to resell, nothing special about them.
Which leads me to ask...anyone trim their rollups? Turns out our recliner pulls down on them and broke the spring.
I'm thinking about trimming ours and just replacing the spring. Needs to be 2" shorter...

We have the slat blinds in our kitchen window behind the range. They collect dust, cooking grease, crap, whatever. Wife hates the. Any ideas on how or what to replace them with something that doesn’t make her grit her teeth?

That is a bad spot for windows, what ever is there has to stand up to heat. I would remove the blinds and get some of the see out but not see in window film, the type where the facing outside is mirrored looking. Easy to install and easy to replace it it gets gummed up from cooking

That is a great idea. I’ll run it past the Boss and see if she salutes it!
