OK,OK. This is perhaps a bit of a wind up, but it is a question that I ask myself every year!  Why do some people insist on towing with all the blinds down?

I have been caravanning for about 30 years. Both long and relatively short haul.  About 3,500 miles a year on the hook.

I have never pulled my blinds down, and on more than one occasion have spotted something amiss inside the van because the blinds were up.  Also I do get some straight through vision through my rear view mirror.

But I guess about 50% of members tow with the blinds down. Why? Am I missing something?  Dont tell me its a crime prevention measure in motorway service stns because my "Domestic Chief of Staff" and I never leave the van unattended in such places.
