Am trying to jazz up my old Challenger,have recovered seats and made new curtains so far.The original roller blinds have just about had it and I was wondering if I remove the blind mechanism completely will I be able to put up some normal (cheapie B&M) venetians.
Thanx in advance for any advice.

I would say yes, I replaced the blinds on my kitchen and bathroom windows. The cheapie blinds tend to be quite lightweight too. Good luck with your renovation. I renovated my old Elddis Tornado, I really enjoyed it.

now that is a good idea - the blind mechanism has gone on one of my blinds ( I only have 2) its a pain to redo too.

Might suggest these to the OH 'cos you can pick them up cheap enough these days.

My little caravan didn't have any blinds when I got her so I fitted her with some funky yellow venitian blinds.
Not only do they look good, but they offer a degree of privacy (if you set the angle right) without blocking out all the light.
Also helps to darken the caravan at night when closed completely.

They were very quick and easy to fit.
