We have a 2019 2 berth Swift with the roller pull down blinds / fly screens, pur previous van had the concertina blinds.

Now the issue the roller blinds seem to let light in at the bottom especially in the summer months not so good at 04:30, my solution has been taken from motorhome screens.

I purchased some foil radiator backing and cut to window size a bit fiddly around the catches but worth it, not only does this stop light in the summer it also helps with retaining heat in the winter plus seems to reduce condensation, bonus.

Has anyone got any other helpful tips or finds this useful.

Maybe caravan suppliers could make this an option albeit expensive I would guess.

    We have these blinds in our Knaus and I find that if you simply draw both blinds, the bottom edge of the flyscreen blocks out that gap below the 'normal' blind.  No need for any modification.

    That's what we do to, only the bathroom and kitchen windows have those blinds the other windows are concertina types.
