How to Make Fold-Up Insulated Blinds for Your Van or RV/ Step-by-Step Tutoria
In this video, I’m going to take you step-by-step through making fold-up and store-in-place insulated blinds for your van or RV.
After traveling in our van for over a year now, we decided to rethink the blinds I had made.
We’ll tell you what didn’t work with the original blinds Kristina made and how we’ve redesigned them to work better for our needs.
These fold-up blinds make it easier to pull them closed and store them when they aren’t in use without taking up valuable storage space in our short-body Ram Promaster 136 van.
