Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

The shade for our large window in the 5th wheel is stuck halfway up/down.  The strings are all ok, but the shade itself seems to have slipped and is bunched up on the left hand side.  I've searched the forum and internet and have not found anyone with this problem.  Any suggestions?  We head out west in a month and can stop in Arizona at a Camping World near the RV Park but I understand this size shade has to be custom ordered to be replaced.  Thank You.  Kate

Don't replace it, as you will be spending a fortune over the years! Learn how to restring it. I've been purchasing 250' rolls of 2 mm string from fixmyblinds.com and doing them myself. A little tricky the first few times, but a piece of cake now. Check out their website and also look at YouTube videos.

I know this is an old thread but let me see if I can revive it. We have the day / night shades and the one in the bedroom has always bugged me. The night part of the shade has never folded correctly. Is there a way to tighten it, steam it, or press it so when it is raised it folds like it was designed to do?
Any advice from experience?
