Hi can anyone tell me if it is better to leave the blinds open or closed.
Have just got 4 yr old caravan with 2 x sunroof blinds and blinds throughout but not sure if should use them or use curtains instead? Any comments appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

If you are talking about storage then the general view is close the curtains but leave the blinds open. This stops the springs becoming over streched and also the sunroof blinds should not be closed fully in full sunlight as they can damage the plastic due to the heat build up.

Definitely close curtains and leave blinds open - it saves wear and tear on the blind springs

always closed in storage

isn't that what they are for

I've had caravans for over 25 years and I havn't snapped a caravan blind spring yet !
