At this stage you might have the blinds sorted? Just an idea for the back windows is to use PVC electrical trunking 25MM as runners they can conform to the bend in the doors and let the blinds slide very easy, plus you can carpet it in 4 way stretch or paint. Its very cheap also, hope this helps. Great channel and videos with very good information. Cheers.
Thanks. You’re right. Things have moved on. I had a Guinness explosion one night which ruined a blind. I’ve since replaced these with good old Hopvaals running in 25mm trunking. The back doors have proprietary blinds which I got cheap in clearance. Check out @campervancreations. Jamie is great but went quiet as he’s recovering from a serious op.
I picked up a new seitz blind in a scrap run earlyer in the year, i used it verticly and ran the sides in square conduit to keep it againts the inner pannel but that was a rare find, i really like that idea chap, i may pinch it for my other windows ;)
Hi thanks. What I’ve actually done is I got some Remus blinds. Just the blinds from a knackered kit. I made up my own rods from 6mm aluminium tube. Looks great but still cost £120. I’ve also now removed the Lidl blinds and have fitted IKEA Hoppvals. To be honest they’re better. Check out Jamie @campervancreations
I thought so but have to admit to changing them. e no hav IKEA Hoppvals as used by Jamie. check him out @campervancreations. I’m going to do an update cos one of mine got damaged (spilt Guinness on it) and IKEA has constant supply.

Excellent idea, and plenty of options for experimentation.

for front u could use wire fishing rods( electricians use for pulling wires)which are fibreglass and screw together whatever length u want 👍

Jamie has gone quiet as he’s recovering from a brain tumour. His vids are great. I’ve never met him but we’ve struck up a friythrough TH-cam.
