Re: rattling window blinds
Hello and from Leicestershire.
re rattling window blinds, I stopped the rattles on mine this week, I had some small foam sponges that are tapered a bit like an erasure, pushed these in the narrow end first, one each end of blind, between blind and blind frame, result quiet. the foam sponges were out of my craft stash, they are used for painting techniques, bought from craft shops, hope this helps.
Regards,
Margaret

Re: rattling window blinds
In our Pollensa, I found an upgraded radio/cd/usb deck with six surround speakers plus a large bass woofer mounted behind the driver's seat did the trick.
If I really crank it up, gives a great back massage too!

Re: rattling window blinds
The only thing that works for us is, prior to departure, to go around the van and stuff folded pieces of Corn Flake packet or similar into each and every slot on both sides of the retracted blinds. Doesn't take long, costs nowt and does the trick.

Re: rattling window blinds
I have had 3 autosleepers over the years and they do suffer with window blind rattles no matter what the base vehicle. In particular van conversions. If my present Hymer was prone to this sort of behaviour I would have it deported!
