Pleated Blinds
« on: October 05 2024, 15:03 »
Hello all
Just wondered if anyone has found a cheaper solution to replacing the pleated blinds on the cabin windows (B37 Cruiser).
Looks like they are around 90 euros each ++ on SVB.
Someone told me that if you can find products that fit camper vans they are half the price of those sold for boat owners !
Many thanks

You can also just fit a curtain rail top and bottom, or four buttons. That's what our 40 Ocean had from original. It worked fine :)

From what I can see, motorhome pleated blinds are equally expensive.  The ones Bavaria use are good quality and should last many years, unless accidentally damaged.  The ones in my 2014 boat still look like new.
