Closing Those Annoying Blind Gaps on my 38A

[bb920]

So this is the solution I came up with to close those Window Blind Gaps:

I could not get the song "I've got this feeling, somebody's watching me..." out of my head

When traveling they are "self storing"

I did both, the passenger window and the 2 bedroom slide out windows.

Our Berk has side valances that block the light.

I guess mine is the lower class brother. I thought of putting in my own, but this looked to be a quicker solution.

We do try to peek in when we're walking around the campground. LOL

We have side valances also. Did they forget to install some on your coach or are they not installing them anymore?

Probably not putting them on, as I read that the 38A did not have the front sunshade either.

How polite! They're being CHEAP!!!
My Sunseeker is a cheap version w/o all the bells and whistles, but even THAT has side valances AND pleated blinds.

My Solera has the pleated cellular shades. With the large round window knob at the bottom, so the blinds do close entirely. I find myself stuffing a kitchen towel or roll of paper towels on the bottom for privacy or heat retention purposes. The sides let air in also. With single pane windows this is a problem.

bb920 (what's your name?)- Does your rig have both sun and night shades. If so, is the night shade closest to the window? If not maybe you can swap. Also, does the shade come out of the roll near the window or the inside. Maybe the shade the shade roll needs to be flipped 180 to get the shade next to the window. Just some suggestions.

That's a nifty idea bb920. Mine were also too far away from window, so I reinstalled them closer to the window, virtualy no gaps now.
Also, my 38A did not come with sun shade in windshield, only the night shade.

My 5er came with the blinds and all have the valence extend the length of the window.

Very slight gaps on mine on front driver side window and bedroom/street side slide out windows. Just used velcro strips on them and attach lightly. Works well so far.

That's too funny! Hope I'm peeking out when you're peeking in!

You must be related to my wife. constantly thinking someone is looking in our RV. Reality; no one cares.

bb920 I replaced all of my living room with wood valance. I didn't do that but i wish I had. Brad and Hall in Elkhart Ind. did the work

I don't have that problem! I have a surveillance camera that shows me if somebody approaches, so no "surprises".

We just spent the last few days next to folks with a class A. they left the front windshield wide open the whole time so you could observe like you were looking into an aquarium. It seemed quite odd especially after darkness when they had all their interior lights on
