Avan poptop caravan owners


Have any of you had trouble with your blinds? If so could you let me know how you dealt with it. One won't slide up and down, one of the strings through the pleats has separated.

Many thanks

Tess

Hi Tess,

Sorry I didn't see your post in "Techies".

I don't have the Avan you mentioned but in my Avan Camper I have trouble with the front curtains in such that the clips on top have broken. I don't have much luck with he after sale people so have decide to use that stretchy wire and hook and eye fixings, just have to make up new curtains with a small hem top and bottom. Not a big job but one beyond my capabilities.

Theirs is a pop top Doug.  They have fairly advanced type of curtains/insect screens on them.

I am thinking about curtains at the moment, thinking about maybe café curtains if I can find a non gory design and they are long enough, on my transit I used the plastic coated spring wire for the top and threaded small key rings through the curtain tape to run on the wire.

I put another wire about one third of the way up across the curtain at the bottom to keep the curtain from falling outwards, the curtain tucks behind it and it doesn't affect sliding the curtain etc.
