Blinds

Bought a new (2017 forest river Wildwood 27' RL) and HATE the window blinds won't stay up well don't fold right when lifting. They have got to go anyone have a replacement idea ?

As Bill Clinton used to say, "I feel your pain."

What you need to do is tighten up the cord that they work on. At the bottom of the blinds on each side is a plastic keeper that holds the cord. Loosen it some and pull down on the cord. tighten the keeper back up while pulling down. I also tied another knot in the cord to ensue that it would remain tight.

Those cords will even come out of the keepers sometimes too.

Good luck

That would fix the staying up problem but the folding problems is another matter I'm thinking some kind of rolling miniblind?

We love the blinds, hated the shades. It sounds like you have an identical trailer to ours. Let me know if i can ever help.
