We offer fully customized high-performance RV window treatments to ensure perfect fit for RV window dimensions and decor.

Should camper shades be up or down when traveling?

Keep the camper shades down to help keep heat, noise and prying eyes out, and to create a maximum room darkenign effect. If your goal is controlling external light but not closing the blinds completely, the best position is to turn the slats up. When you don’t need to control light and privacy, keep the camper shades up to prevent damage from potential bouncing around while driving.

What is the difference between inside mount and outside mount?

In inside mount, the RV blind or shade fits inside the window frame, offering a cleaner and sleeker appearance. Conversely, an outside mount positions the window covering around or above the window frame, a suitable option when the frame lacks sufficient depth.

How do you adjust an RV shade?

You can easily adjust the stop position and speed while the RV shade is still installed. Locate stop adjustment wheel and turn it right or left to adjust the height at which the shade stops when it’s rolled up. To ajust speed, locate the speed adjustment wheel and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to make the shade roll up faster or slower, respectively.

Do blinds reduce road noise?

Any of our blinds added to your RV window will help to reduce road noise, as you are adding an extra barrier to traffic noise penetration. However, the blinds with higher insulation properties, such as cellular shades, are better at eliminating sound.

What type of blinds are most energy-efficient?

Triple cell honeycomb shades, with three-layers of pocketed cells, are the king of energy efficiency for an RV. They’re a thick barrier, trapping air and providing lots of insulation. These RV blinds can help regulate temperature inside your RV by blocking cold and heat, and can provide privacy. They are the most useful window coverings in motorhomes that have an extreme need for insulation.

Which type of custom blinds can I choose?

We have a wide curated selection of custom RV blinds that are available in various sizes, colors, patterns, styles, and models. Consider window dimensions, fabric opacity, material, visual appeal, and kid-safety when choosing custom blinds for your RV.
