Replacing day/night shades with blinds

[Jq1953]

I have hated my day/night shades since we purchased our coach last year and have been hesitant to try and replace them. Boy was I wrong.
I ordered Bali brand shades from Lowes and they installed very easily. Cost was about $50.00 per shade-I bought metal blinds. They and work great. They came in the color to match the blind in the kitchen ( wheat color ). Replaced four in about one hour.

I have been restringing Our D/N Blinds over the last few weeks! They are very easy to do after You figure out how to unclip them and work much better than any Of those Stupid Venetian mini blinds!
I can see why some folks replace them as it does take a bit of patience to figure out how they are supposed to work!

And with blinds you can open a window and still get some ventilation. Changed mine years ago.

We changed out the day-night with soft blinds custom ordered through Lowes.

I changed one out in a motor home at the dinette booth and it really turned out nice. No rattling going down the road. Recently I changed out the two bedroom
Day/night shades with metal Levelor mini blinds from Lowes, in my fiver. They cut to fit.

What an improvement. The plastic mini blinds do not hold up good and with lights on, you can see shadows inside. The metal ones are much better.

I change the day/night shades to mini blinds a year ago and wish I had done it years ago. As far as noise goes we raise them up all the way and have no noise.

I'd like blinds but the wife doesn't want to have to clean them. I know day nights get dusty too, but it doesn't show as bad.

We replaced our day/night shades with Room Darkening Shades. Easy to clean and you have your privacy.

I've had trailers with both, and I like the day/night shades better. Blinds usually don't provide full privacy, unless you also have curtains. And I REALLY hate curtains.

What kind of RV do you have? That would work great in a trailer. I would not want blinds in a motorhome. They really make a lot of noise going down the road.
